This 106-year-old, character-filled cottage is rich in charm and warmth, offering three bedrooms and one bathroom beneath beautiful high ceilings and timber-panelled walls. The home has been thoughtfully updated with new decks at both the front and rear, creating inviting spaces to relax or entertain in every season, all while maintaining much of its original identity.

The first bedroom is a cosy retreat, complete with a working wood heater, while bedrooms two and three are well proportioned and fitted with ample built-in robes. At the heart of the home sits a wonderfully rustic kitchen, featuring a pot-belly stove and a Nectre wood-fired heater/baker’s oven. Timber flooring runs throughout plus some carpet - all enhanced by underfloor insulation, and a practical internal laundry adds everyday ease. Recently-added double-glazed timber sliding doors open from the living space onto the rear entertaining deck, seamlessly connecting indoors with the outdoors.

At the front of the property, beyond the bull-nosed verandah, a tranquil fern garden provides a cool, peaceful spot to unwind, while sustainability is well considered with a household water tank and septic waste system located in the rear yard space which boasts many established native species.

Positioned in a vibrant yet relaxed setting, the Art Reach gallery café sits directly across the road, with the much-anticipated reopening of the Beechy Hotel just a short stroll away. Lavers Hill is only a 15-minute drive, home to The Perch restaurant and an indoor swimming pool, and the Gellibrand River Hotel can be reached in around 20 minutes — perfectly placing this charming cottage within easy reach of some of the region’s best local offerings.
