A Victorian Georgian inspired heritage-listed 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom stand alone residence with character aplenty - high ceilings, solid wooden floorboards, tall feature skirting boards and ornate fireplaces.

The central living area is the hub of the home, overlooking the sunken kitchen and bench seat dining area, through large windows to a tranquil backyard area. The bathroom, with shower over bath, is tucked away nicely, with easy access from all areas of the home.
The secluded North facing outdoor area creates an instant relaxed feeling. Framed by trees with easy care paving, a built in BBQ area and undercover section for all year round use. For safety and security, this timeless cottage is fitted with security doors and screens.
