Positioned perfectly in the heart of Port Elliot, this superb stone residence, known as 'Woodbine', offers a rare opportunity to secure a special property. Set on a generous allotment of approximately 1079sqm, this character filled home is just one street from The Strand's vibrant cafes and boutique stores.
Lovingly maintained by the current owners for over two decades, 'Woodbine' is steeped in the town's rich heritage. Built in 1897 by local craftsman John William Trigg a well-known carpenter, leather worker and respected community figure, the home showcases timeless design and enduring craftsmanship. John Trigg would later go on to purchase the iconic Cliff House.
The home's classic symmetrical design and graceful proportions are a nod to its era, while quality updates and thoughtful care over the years ensure it remains stylish and welcoming. The gracious frontage, framed by a return verandah and immaculately kept gardens, leads into a spacious interior comprising four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a country style kitchen and main living room all brimming with warmth and character.
A highlight of the property is the expansive cellar accessed from the sunroom, while a studio and workshop at the rear of the allotment provide further space and versatility ideal for creatives and guests.

The spacious main living room is a focal point of the home, with combustion fireplace and built-in bookcase. The adjoining sunroom includes a built-in linen press, second bathroom and laundry, along with access to the cellar.
The classic country kitchen and dining area is ideally positioned off the living room and includes ample storage, gas stovetop, oven, dishwasher and a warm inviting ambience.
