Overview

"Helena" c1861

Nestled behind its charming white picket fence, "Helena" is a beautiful double-fronted solid brick cottage that radiates character and charm, built in c1861 by Orlando Birt, a builder and mason from Cornwall reputed to have worked on some of Castlemaine's grandest houses. Offering a generous 1014sqm (approx) allotment with the potential to subdivide (STCA) this two-bedroom home with a north-facing rear garden is conveniently located within walking distance to Castlemaine's retail precinct, train station, historic BUDA, the picturesque Castlemaine Botanical Gardens, the Mill Complex, and both Castlemaine North Primary School and Castlemaine Secondary College. Having been lovingly owned by the same family since the 1940s, this cottage features an entry leading into a cosy sitting room with a concealed fireplace framed by a period surround. The adjoining living room exudes charm with a solid wood heater set within a period fireplace. The front-facing master bedroom also showcases a concealed fireplace, while the second bedroom enjoys the unique character of a timber-clad raked ceiling. The heart of the home is the charming kitchen, offering an open dining space that features period cabinetry and windows, easy access to a walk-in pantry with slate shelving and opens directly to the north-facing garden. A step down from the kitchen reveals a versatile area currently used as a combined sunroom with laundry facilities, with access to a 3m x 3.3m cellar with original slate flooring, concrete floor, and external access to the garden. Completing the interior layout is a bathroom with a shower over the bath, vanity, and toilet. Period details throughout the home include high ceilings, timber cladding, double-hung 6x6 windows, and a partial slate roof, all contributing to the property's timeless appeal. Outside, the expansive grounds offer off-street parking, two water tanks, a shed, and a low-maintenance garden dotted with fruit and deciduous trees, including a lilac and crepe myrtle. This much-loved, character-filled home presents a peaceful setting with immense potential to add your personal touch and the opportunity to create your own story within this stunning period property.
