What's around 5 Hodgson Terrace

A rare opportunity presents for innovation and design in historic Richmond

Occasionally, untouched gems like this original timber cottage come on the market. Located, in arguably one of Richmond's quietest streets ensures a feeling of seclusion despite being only a few steps away from Church Street and Bridge Road including all the services, conveniences and delights these vibrant, urban lifestyle hubs have to offer. This sought-after, inner-city location presents a rare and affordable opportunity to secure a small slice of historic Richmond – it would suit creatives, innovators and designers who are itching for an architectural challenge and won't shy away from a bit of hard work. This unrenovated, semi-detached, block-fronted cottage requires a good dose of imagination and passion to transform this historical patch of Richmond into a modern and sustainable home for future generations. Currently the layout includes one bedroom, a spacious lounge featuring and original and quite beautiful fireplace worthy of rescuing. There is gas heating, high ceilings and an archway, at the end of the hallway you'll discover and small double door with glass panes. Towards the rear is the kitchen fitted with updated cabinetry and a large sink, finally, there is a bathroom with a small bath. The courtyard offers additional space to either extend out or reconfigure the layout. Included is a little, outside laundry room. This historical, block-fronted cottage is ready to be reimagined, reborn and extended upwards showcasing an innovative use of space and joining the select group of the cleverly designed, compact, twenty-first century urban homes.
