90 Nicholas Street

Ipswich QLD 4305

This is a beautiful cottage that I would expect to see in the Kent countryside, surrounded by a pretty garden with a spaniel barking at the gate!!!
But it is here in all its glory minus the spaniel.
From the moment you step foot on the property you are transported to a time less fast paced and more genteel.
Of tea and scones rather than fast cars and computer games.
This in not a home for a young family more so a couple who can appreciate the architecture, cope with the antique spiral staircase and enjoy a stroll to the local coffee shop and parks on a sunny afternoon.
It is stunning in its history and its quirkiness and feels warm and inviting with a hint of mystery.
Restored and conserved by one of Ipswich's leading heritage builders nothing has been left to chance and the list of some of its features below attest to this.
