Set amidst charming cottage gardens in the picturesque township of Franklin, is this 1880s character country cottage. Steeped in charm and original atmosphere of its era, the home is as welcoming as it is beautiful, with gleaming timber floorboards, ornate architraves and fretwork, original sash windows, bullnose verandah plus all the modern conveniences one would desire.
Old and new come together in the living area, where the cottage benefits from a modern upgrade to include an open-plan layout, a kitchen with separate cooking appliances, a stylish range hood and a dishwasher. Accentuated by a reverse cycle air-conditioner and an in-built wood heater, the cottage offers ample heating and cooling.
Offering 3 double-sized bedrooms off the central hallway, there is built-in storage in one and a wood heater set in an original open fireplace in another. The bathroom incorporates the laundry and features a separate walk-in shower, spa bath and ample space. Adding another dimension to this already charming home is the upstairs attic/loft, where you can create your own hideaway or ideal as storage.
Supporting its street appeal is a white picket fence and enchanted gardens where pebbled pathways will set you meandering in your own oasis. Retaining its heritage exterior, the period cottage is complete with a covered alfresco entertaining area, complemented by an outdoor spa/hot tub, garden shed and carport.
Situated in the quaint township of Franklin, only a stones throw away from Franklin Primary School, The Wooden Boat Centre and Franklin Foreshore, escape the hustle and bustle and take solace in this beautiful location.
