Old world charm yet fully renovated and low maintenance and right in the middle of this historic town in one of Longford’s best streets.
High ceilings, wood paneling, over 100 years of history and surprising privacy give this cottage the charm and grace you don’t find in newer homes. And yet it is fully renovated with a new open plan kitchen and 2 new bathrooms.
Outside are lovely but low maintenance gardens and fully paved courtyards with no grass to mow! A magnificent walnut tree and apple tree provide summer shade and greenery and both are productive. Ferns down the eastern side of the property, beautiful stone work (including a delightful barbecue), a private deck (new) for catching early morning sun and a covered pergola all add to the outdoor charm of this cottage.
The property is close to amenities including an excellent medical centre 2 blocks away. The wonderful Hill Street grocer is also nearby as well as coffee shops and eateries. Mere metres away are the extraordinary and expansive historic grounds of Christ Church and then the village green.
If you are after a studio then the garage could be an easy convert. You can be excused for thinking it is already one, however it is currently a garage with powered roll-a-door. Two small vehicles or one single vehicle would be easily housed.
