Last Listing description (June 2016)
Known by the locals as 'The Pink Cottage' this beautiful home is positioned on one of the most fertile blocks and is part of Hoskinstown's historic profile. This quaint little hamlet is a well kept secret and those who discover it are usually reluctant to leave, so, properties like this do not become available very often.
With tar to the front gate, access to Bungendore, Queanbeyan and Canberra is easy and when you get home you will feel a million miles away from the stress of city life. The little township is surrounded by large open grazing paddocks on the plain and natural bush covered hills surrounding the flat. This unique geographical dish shape was carved out by a huge glacier thousands of years ago.
Older residents remember being told of a little timber cottage on the site that was rebuilt between 1910 and 1919. The original part of the cottage was reconstructed by local identity and builder Mr Bill Hopkins. He used an attractive pale rose pink siltstone quarried on site and trimmed it with brick around the windows and corners of the home in the Colonial style.
The house was extended in 1986 when a double-brick northern extension added a light, solar-passive living area with floor to ceiling glazing overlooking the beautiful gardens beyond. This living room is inviting year round - in winter it is warmed by the sun literally streaming in and in summer it is cool and well ventilated.
The home maintains the Victorian era feel, it is quirky with thick walls, original doors and hardware and some beautiful windows. There is a studio to the back of the home used as a fourth bedroom or it could make a terrific home office. The kitchen is positioned in the centre of the home and is just one of those rooms you want to spend time in with many of the original features retained but modern appliances added.

established orchard - almonds, cherries, figs, plums, apples, apricots, peaches, berries
