Nestled in the quiet enclave of Little Church Street, this timeless residence offers more than character. Located just moments from the Hawkesbury River and Windsor village cafés, Primrose Cottage offers an unmatched blend of old-world charm and local convenience.
John Primrose, an emancipated convict and painter/glazier was the owner and builder of Primrose Cottage adjoined to the former Bell Inn, situated at 2-4 Little Church Street. The inn and ground floor of the cottage was completed circa 1841, with the first floor of the cottage added c1845 to accommodate a growing family of twelve children.
Whether at the Inn or at home, the Primrose family greeted townsfolk and travellers alike. The property was a place of rest and source of local news for folks travelling from the Lower Mountains and Hawkesbury reaches enroute to the Parramatta Markets to hawk produce.
Step inside Primrose Cottage and you'll feel a sense of quiet and continuity - a bridge between Windsor's pioneering heritage and the comfort of contemporary life. The property's original features include sandstone block verandah, solid shutters and the rich patina of cedar joinery. The first floor nine pane windows are a particular period feature. The brickwork is Flemish bond typical of Georgian architecture, with the exception of the first floor addition which was completed in English bond standard.
Offering two separate living areas, 2 bedrooms with access to a roof top deck with views over Windsor's township, you will discover an updated kitchen, a fenced yard complete with storge shed, covered parking and an old world charm that you cannot recreate, all a short stroll to the convenience of town.
Whether you see this property as a heritage retreat, boutique residence, or landmark opportunity, Primrose Cottage is more than a home - it's a story that continues to unfold.
