Located in northern Tasmania, the historic township of Longford is well known for its relaxed country lifestyle & characterful streetscape. eProperty&Co is pleased to present for sale this rare opportunity to acquire a postcard worthy 1840’s Georgian abode; the charming “Blazely Cottage” with its leafy English style garden of established trees & lush lawn, enveloped by a classic white picket fence.
Having begun its life as a humble gardener’s residence on what was once part of the grand Arthur family estate, the cottage has spent the better part of the last 180 years as a much loved family home & more recently, has opened its doors to provide welcoming & comfortable accommodation as a successful bed & breakfast operation. The home can certainly continue to trade that way but for now its a lovely residential home.
Boasting a number of original period features, this heritage listed home has been well maintained & cared for over the years. Several sympathetic updates ensure this dwelling’s future as a home for the 21st century.
