9 Britcliffes Road, Geeveston TAS 7116

Nestled within a pretty rural setting, this gorgeous cottage has been lovingly restored. This wonderful charming home is up a country lane and off a quiet road in a peaceful area. Sit on your front verandah and admire the views whilst listening to the babbling brook and tweets from the bird life. This weatherboard cottage was originally built in 1890 and was one of the original apple orchards in the area. With a sympathetic renovation this home still oozes charm and one lone apple tree connects this home to its origins.

The property offers an open floor plan connecting the large country kitchen/diner to the spacious yet cozy lounge room.
Three good sized bedrooms are located down the central hallway with original timber lined ceilings and pretty views from all windows. A generous family sized bathroom with separate shower, toilet and the all important bath tub to laze away an afternoon. Also a purpose built and concealed laundry and storage area is is cleverly located in this large bathroom.

At the opposing end of the home is the 4th bedroom or master bedroom or an alternate living space. Also could be great as an office or art studio or a seperate area that could be locked off to the rest of the house for your personal belongings if you were wanting to holiday let. This section also has a small powder room.

As you arrive at the property it is trellised by grape vines encasing the back verandah and this delightful character cottage sits proudly in its elevated position. The home is surrounded by over two acres of natural pastureland. There's room for a pony or two, free range chickens, a mini orchard if you wish and you can get started on growing your own organic produce . The property is also connected to town water.

There are verandahs on three sides, pick your spot to sit back with a good book overlooking the natural surrounds this property enjoys. Facing north, sunshine streams into the home especially when the sun is low in the cooler months and the wrap around bullnose verandah provides lovely shade all summer long.

Keep snug with a slow combustion wood fire in the lounge room and with a new roof and insulation this home is warm and cozy. A practical door leads off to the side verandah from the lounge, and there are French doors providing direct access to the back garden from where you could establish your own potager off the kitchen. The generous island bench gives plenty of prep area and the addition of a dishwasher makes cleaning up that much easier. In the kitchen the original double fireplaces have been retained as well as the original floorboards.

Positioned just out of the centre of Geeveston also makes this property very practical. Close to the varied amenities that Geeveston affords including a providore and patisserie, several cafes for the foodies and even one of the best butchers in the Huon. The local market is a great way to meet your neighbours, swap your produce and try some great local food. The main hub of the Huon Valley is 15 minutes up the road at Huonville where you will find all your services and Hobart is a very picturesque 45-50 minutes away. The drive follows the beautiful Huon River and then takes you up and over the mountain down into Kingston and Hobart.
