Steeped in history and built around 1905, this delightful workers’ cottage blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. Recently repainted externally, the home looks fresh and inviting, complete with a cosy front verandah and a back porch – the perfect spot to enjoy your first cuppa of the day.
Tucked behind an established hedge, the property offers excellent privacy from the road. A private driveway leads to the rear of the home and a single garage, with plenty of off-street parking available – ideal for accommodating a caravan. The easy-care grounds feature a small lawn at the back that wraps around to an even smaller lawn at the front, making garden and lawn maintenance a breeze.
Inside, the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area creates a warm and welcoming hub of the home. A log fire takes pride of place in the centre, providing the main heating source and adding to the cottage ambience. Two generous double bedrooms are located off the lounge and benefit from the warmth of the fire, while a third bedroom sits to the rear under the lean-to roof and is slightly smaller.
The roof has been replaced, and partial double glazing has been added along the north-facing side for improved comfort. The bathroom has been updated and features a shower over the bath, freshly repainted in a charming cornflower blue. The laundry and entry porch are also located at the rear alongside the bathroom.
Set on a 466m² section, this 83m² home may have a modest footprint, but it truly packs a punch and offers everything you need.
Ideal for first-home buyers, downsizers, investors, and lovers of character homes alike – this is a special property not to be missed.
