71 High Street, Maldon VIC 3463

Reputed to have been the local brothel, this solid brick and weatherboard building started life around 1867 when the timber section of the cottage was built and was further developed around 1895 with the addition of the 2 story brick structure. Despite its dubious beginnings this property is now a charming, character filled home in the most amazing private centre of town location. The first level includes a large formal lounge, original kitchen, bedroom, sitting room or possible study and bathroom/laundry. Upstairs are 2 further bedrooms and the timber lined landing area. Special features include Flagstone and slate paved floors, open fireplaces and over-mantles, combustion wood heater and wood oven, lead light feature windows, some pressed metal and claw foot bath. The home is surrounded by cottage gardens with fruit, veggies, pathways and garden shed. Accessed down a private lane way off High Street this amazing property provides privacy with the convenience of being only steps away from the town's facilities. Perfect for weekend getaways or B&B accommodation.
