Up in the hills of the historic riverside town of Franklin, this super charming cottage is packed with early 1900 character. Positioned in the middle of a perfectly manageable 1.47 acres (5972m2), the land consists of a lovely garden setting around the home, with a fully fenced separate paddock to the side. Currently holding 2 horses, this is lush pasture great for a cow or two or maybe some sheep. Facing due north, the property enjoys basking in all day sun.
The beautiful led light, solid timber door invites you in. As you enter, you are greeted with aged Tassie Oak floors and extra high ceilings, along with large skirting boards and gorgeous fireplaces to discover. Originally built in 1910, the cottage has also had upgrades over the years, including double glazing, yes, double glazing. There is a reverse cycle air-conditioner as well as slow-combustion wood fires for that unbeatable snug warmth.
The lounge is cosy, complete with a Jotul wood fire and lovely views out to the garden. The kitchen is in a rustic country classic style. This flows around a central fireplace to the dining which could be the home office or another sitting room. There are river views from the dining and the kitchen. Two spacious bedrooms are on the ground floor, one has French doors out to a lovely little deck, a great spot for a cup of tea.
Up the stairs, there is a 3rd bedroom in the loft. Up here, you could easily split the two ends and make the home 4 bedrooms. Currently there is a study looking out over the Huon River deep down in the valley at one end with the bedroom at the other. Large skylight windows up here floor the space with natural light and are wonderful for star-gazing at night or cloud spotting in the day.
The floor plan is super flexible with rooms that can be configured to suit your needs. Servicing the bedrooms is a central bathroom, complete with its own timber floors and a fireplace. A second bathroom comes off the utility room at the rear, currently an art studio and mudroom for when you come in from the garden.
Outside, there is a combined workshop, carport and garden shed in the style of an old barn. The driveway loops around past this, making it very practical in and out of the property. Behind the barn is the veggie garden, providing you with home-grown produce. You can be as self-sufficient as you choose here.
There are mature deciduous trees that add a wonderful European charm and glorious colour during the changing seasons. The garden will surprise you and will keep on giving, from the daffodil bulbs that flower in late winter to the burst of spring. This is a pretty garden that is actually very low-maintenance.
Franklin is a quaint town with plenty of eateries. There is a long river foreshore for evening strolls and just up the road, within 10 minutes, is the main hub of the Huon Valley at Huonville.
