This neatly updated cottage has two bedrooms and a separate light-filled office/study/studio at the back, overlooking an established private back yard garden. Convenient rear lane access along Yarrowee River leads to the low maintenance back yard, large new carport and BBQ/entertaining area.
This property would be ideal for an entry level purchaser, or an investor who doesn't want to renovate. It is also an excellent alternative to a townhouse, with easy access to Sturt Street shopping, cafes and restaurants.

Upgrade work in the main cottage includes new ceilings and ceiling insulation (2002), new roof (2003), new mains electricity board and safety switches (2010), new window furnishings and floor coverings (2010), and is newly painted throughout in neutral colours.
A separate light-filled office/study/studio is located off the back verandah, has insulation in its relined walls and decorative ceiling, and has a very pleasant aspect overlooking the garden.
The private back yard garden has a paved shaded area for outdoor dining and entertaining, a new hooded gas barbeque, established native shrubs along the fences, plus a large gumtree at the back fence, providing welcome shade in summer and a stopover for native birds.
The carport is 4m x 8m with a custom-designed timber frame, the corrugated iron roof has a centre panel of laserlite to let the sky in, was built in 2010 by a local builder, provides convenient year-round shelter, and has a new fold-down clothesline and storage box along one side.
Valuable rear lane access leads to the driveway, carport and private back yard, with additional shaded parking in a gravelled area outside the back fence.
There are no neighbours behind the property, just the rear lane and Yarrowee River flanked by large gum trees, home to an abundance of cheerful bird life right in the middle of Ballarat.
[Please note: this property is located in the Ballarat suburb of Redan, however this advertisement lists the address as Ballarat for the benefit of out of town purchasers]
