This sweet little cottage has so much to offer for those that appreciate period homes. It is very rare to find houses of this age and style that offer the amount of space that this one does. Originally built with the Phoenix Foundry as workers accommodation in the 1880s, the cottage has undergone many changes and improvements in its time, whilst still retaining much of its original character.

The home features four bedrooms and an ensuite. This is uncommon to find in a workers cottage and really open up the potential of the property to accommodate a modern family. The kitchen, lounge and dining areas have an open plan layout, in line with current trends. The original fireplaces have been retained and utilised, in the kitchen as a stove surround, and in the lounge a more efficient wood-burner has been installed into the cavity. The kitchen is open and features a solid slab of pine as the kitchen counter and works in well with the rustic feel. The floorboards have been replaced in recent times and have a cozy feel. An extension has been added; dramatically increasing the internal areas and capturing the northern sun.

A lot of money and effort has been spent on some of the often overlooked aspects of a house. The roof has been completely replaced recently and needs no further attention from its new owners. At some stage the house has been raised and the original footings replaced with steel ones. These upgrades mean that structural repairs are not required and the more enjoyable (and usually more profitable) cosmetic changes are all that is needed to completely transform the residence in to a stunning period home.
