Set within the peacefully Fingal Valley village of Royal George, this well-presented cottage is an ideal property for the first home buyer or 'tree changer' seeking to escape to the country. Circa 1940, the home would have offered accommodation for employees of the now-defunct Merrywood mine site; nowadays, 17a Royal George Road offers the following:
- Three good-sized bedrooms; with a built-in wardrobe in the master bedroom.
- Open plan dining/living area with a free-standing Saxon woodfire for temperature control.
- Practical country-style open kitchen with an upright Chef stove.
- Neat and tidy bathroom with a separate laundry/washroom.
- Recently re-painted (internally and externally).
- Connected to 25,000 litres above ground storage water tank with a direct water intake from St Paul River (via an Ajax electric pump) and septic sewerage system.
- NBN Satellite available for connection.
17a Royal George Road is set upon a large, fully fenced 4554 sqm (1.12 acre) parcel of land with dual access from Royal George Road. A double lock-up Galvanized Iron™ shed offering plenty of storage options and attached caravan; acts as a sleep-out for family and friends to stay. A low maintenance garden with several beautiful established native trees is well-positioned upon this property.
Royal George enjoyed a mining boom in the late 19th century and early 20th century when tin was sourced from the nearby Merrywood mine site. Nowadays, around 30 residents enjoy the peace and quiet upon the banks of the St. Pauls River. The St. Pauls River is an ideal fishing spot or a leisurely kayak. Royal George is served by a school bus that takes students to Campbell Town District High School. Royal George is 15kms southeast of Avoca and 1hr and 30 minutes from Launceston. Avoca offers postal service, and basic shopping supplies are available from the Avoca General Store/Service Station. Many tourists and locals commute through Royal George as a scenic route to the Great Eastern Drive (Tasmanian East Coast). The famous beaches and vineries of the Tasmanian East Coast can be accessed via The Old Coach Road, and Cranbrook/Swansea/Coles Bay are only 45 minutes to 1 hour's drive from this property.
For the astute investor, 'tree-changer' or first-home buyer, 17a Royal George Road is a neat property and is awaiting your inspection. Feel free to contact Nick Hay at Harcourts Northern Midlands today to arrange an inspection.
