When buyers dream of a cottage rich in charm and character, they rarely expect something quite like Farrier’s Cottage. Originally built to house the bushwhackers and later the farriers working at the Booth Sawmill, this home is a genuine piece of Carterton history.
Step inside and the story deepens. Thoughtfully integrated modern upgrades enhance the home without compromising its heritage soul.
A beautiful dine-in kitchen extension, along with a stylish main bathroom and ensuite, has been completed so sympathetically you’d be forgiven for thinking it was always part of the original design. The kitchen is a true highlight, featuring oak cabinetry and a Belling Range that perfectly complement the cottage aesthetic. French doors open out onto a covered deck, perfect for al fresco dining. The newly completed bathrooms are fully tiled and finished with quality fittings, adding a subtle sense of luxury.
A generous side-entry space—fondly known as “the lobby”—offers versatility as a mudroom or hobby area, with an additional bathroom nearby bringing the total to three bathrooms in this three-bedroom home—ideal for guests.
Outside, the original blacksmith’s forge now functions as a spacious workshop, and a separate standalone outbuilding presents exciting potential as a studio or creative project.
Lovingly restored and carefully updated, this home has been confidently brought into the 21st century. The photos tell part of the story, but Farrier’s Cottage is best appreciated in person.
