7 New Road, Franklin TAS 7113

It is the position of this cottage that is so good. Just up from the Franklin Main Street and yet not right on the main road. This is a level block with a mostly level walk into the township and to the Huon River foreshore. Consisting of 1008m2 of lawns and garden space, there is plenty of space for kids and pets to run around here.

The cottage was originally built in 1964 and still has great character features from that era such as the timber floors throughout and the vertical-board exterior walls. This style of home can be renovated into a more modern home or responds well to the country heritage look that fits so well with the other homes in Franklin.

The cottage is perfectly liveable as it is, suiting first home buyers or investors looking to secure some valuable Franklin Real Estate. Or you may be looking for a project to sink your teeth into, either way this one is ideal and ready for some new love.

As you walk through the front door, you are greeted by a large hallway, typical of the era, with 4 good sized bedrooms. One even comes with its own open fireplace feature. Through to the lounge at the rear, there is another feature open fireplace in the corner with a free standing woodfire to keep the home snug in the cooler months of the year. From the lounge you pop out onto the back deck which overlooks the huge grassy backyard, all fenced in with quality timber paling.

The options for improving this cottage with clever renovations are excellent. Taking advantage of opening the kitchen and lounge up to be open plan, then creating a bigger access from this area to the back covered deck, would be a very appealing result. Currently the bathroom comes off the kitchen and instead requires a new access from the hallway for easier access from the bedrooms. There are many options here, you will love creating your own vision.

Also available is a 1152m2 battle axe allotment behind this one at 7A New Rd.
