Goldrush Cottage c1850s

Tucked away and set back from the street, this pretty 1850s miner's cottage transformed over the years, with a circa 1920s exterior, is surrounded by a charming garden of established ornamental trees and private seating areas. With a beautiful setting, this cottage is only 550m from the hub of the Castlemaine township, cafes, restaurants and retail.

The stucco-clad cottage sits elevated to the rear of the 1135 sqm (approx) property, a long front verandah with deco columns making for the perfect spot to observe the tranquil garden. The cottage features two north-facing living rooms with Rinnai wall heaters, with the formal living featuring a stone fireplace, a dining space overlooks the rear courtyard, and the kitchen provides a dishwasher, a walk-in pantry, a gas cooktop and an oven set into the original fireplace. Two generous bedrooms are located at opposite ends of the cottage, serviced by a bathroom with a shower, heated towel rails, a vanity, a separate toilet with a bidet and a laundry. Period details include recessed window sills, timber detailing, solid walls, and double-hung windows.

The generous grounds include a 2.8m x 6m garage, a north-facing 3.4m x 4.9m studio/ guest bedroom and a rear courtyard with a period outside toilet. The rambling garden includes stone walling, raised veggie beds and meandering paths. Goldrush Cottage is a hidden secret, making for the perfect country escape in an ideal location.
