Wishart Bros Residence & Blacksmith Forge (Circa 1855)
A rare and exceptionally preserved survivor of Linton's Goldfields, the sale of this property provides a limited opportunity to purchase a complete piece of Australia's colonial history. Situated on seven township titles with a combined area of 3.2 acres, the original family residence and blacksmith complex included a wheelwright and coach-builder and remain as they did 160 years ago. An unexpectedly spacious miners cottage accommodates three bedrooms, three living zones, functional country kitchen/meals and bathroom. Built of local timbers, the structurally sound foundry complex provides a rare insight into yesteryear and much of the original tools, equipment i.e. bellows & forge are still in place. Other carefully retained original features include open fire places, household well, trough and yards and established English gardens. Inspections are strictly by appointment with the selling agent
Additional feature/s - Wishart's Bros Blacksmiths Shop/Wheelwright + Carpenters.
