Steeped in history and brimming with character, this enchanting Georgian cottage dating back to 1840, offers a rare opportunity to own a truly special piece of Tasmanian heritage in the picturesque village of Richmond.
Positioned on a substantial 776m² corner allotment with dual street access, the home enjoys a tranquil setting on the edge of the village while capturing idyllic rural outlooks across the renowned Pooley Vineyard and the surrounding rolling hills. Framed by mature, established gardens, the property delivers both privacy and a beautiful natural backdrop that changes with the seasons.
Inside, the original cottage showcases gorgeous wide timber floorboards, rich with patina and history, setting the tone for the warmth and authenticity found throughout. A striking exposed brick feature wall anchors the living space, housing a cosy wood heater that creates the perfect snug for cooler Tasmanian evenings.
Beautifully maintained over time, the home balances heritage charm with modern comfort. There is ample scope for those wishing to further enhance the property through a bespoke renovation or even a grand extension (STCA), making it an exciting prospect for buyers seeking both character and potential.
Adding further versatility are multiple outbuildings, ideal for hobbies, studio space, storage, or potential conversion depending on your vision. The lined attic retreat, accessed via a convenient fold-down ladder, offers generous additional storage or the opportunity to create an extra living area by reinstating the original internal staircase.
Practicality is well considered, with secure rear access via remote-controlled gates and plenty of off-street parking for multiple vehicles, a trailer, or a boat. At the front of the cottage, parking for up to four cars also presents an exciting opportunity to transform the space into a sun-drenched north-facing courtyard, perfect for outdoor entertaining or a landscaped garden sanctuary.
Despite its peaceful setting, the property is only a leisurely stroll from the heart of Richmond village, where boutique shops, charming cafés, and everyday conveniences await.
A rare blend of history, charm, and future potential, this captivating Georgian cottage offers a lifestyle opportunity that is as timeless as it is inspiring.
