Woodend VIC 3442

This delightful, lovingly restored early 1900's cottage sits comfortably nestled into a stunning 1,527 sqm garden which is an absolute delight to the senses. Stepping through the front gate you are instantly immersed in the beautiful fragrances of Scented Pine and climbing Jasmine. Wander through colourful garden beds of joyous Bluebells, vibrant Lilacs, Irish Strawberry, Crab Apples, White Cherry, Plums and an orchard of Four Clove Apples which sit in a lush fenced lawn behind a private Viburnum hedge.

The charming cottage is brimming with original features befitting its era, including 11 foot ceilings, polished floorboards, textured wood panelling and beautiful sash windows capturing views to the garden from each room. Original leadlight windows frame the inviting entrance hall which leads to a cosy living room with ornate fireplace, a bright and sunny front bedroom, central dining room with Nectre wood heater and an elegant country style kitchen with Ilve freestanding stove, apron front sink and plentiful bench space on which to prepare delicious meals for loved ones and friends. The generous bathroom features a luxurious claw foot tub and European laundry and a second bedroom provides room for guests to stay.

Enjoy brilliant sunrises and sunsets from the front porch and back verandah, entertain outside surrounded by the private and magical garden, with home grown food from the veggie patch and eggs from the chicken coop. The old outhouse can be used as a cute potting or tool shed for storage, in addition to the single garage which would make a wonderful studio space, fully lined with original materials from the cottage. A large gate beside the garage allows easy side access to the backyard. This really is a unique and wonderful offering not to be missed, just a short walk from Woodend train station and town centre and only an hour from Melbourne.
