Steeped in old world charm and occupying an expansive 2,129sqm (approx.) allotment, 'Fairview' presents a rare opportunity to secure a beautiful piece of Deloraine's history. Believed to date back to the early 1920s, this character filled weatherboard residence has stood for approximately a century, offering a wonderful combination of timeless appeal, generous proportions and exciting potential for the future.
Situated in one of Deloraine's historically significant pockets, "Fairview" forms part of a neighbourhood with deep connections to the township's agricultural beginnings. East Westbury Place was once associated with the district's early livestock trade, with historic saleyards operating in the surrounding area. Today, the neighbourhood retains much of its established charm, with period residences, mature gardens and a sense of history that is increasingly difficult to replicate.
The home itself offers four bedrooms, a central living area and a practical floorplan, with much of its original character still waiting to be rediscovered. Its traditional weatherboard construction and charming period presence provide an ideal foundation for those with an appreciation for older homes, whether the vision is a sympathetic restoration, a thoughtful renovation or simply enjoying the property as it stands.
Adding to its historic appeal are the beautiful bluestone foundations, a wonderful reminder of the craftsmanship and materials associated with homes of this era. These enduring features further enhance the property's character and provide a connection to its century old beginnings.
Set across approximately half an acre, the grounds are equally impressive. The substantial landholding offers an increasingly rare sense of space so close to the township, with plenty of room for gardening, outdoor entertaining, family activities or future improvements. A northerly aspect, established surrounds, secure parking and a garage further complement the property's appeal.
The established orchard and mature gardens create a private oasis, with an abundance of greenery, established trees and peaceful spaces to enjoy throughout the seasons. There is a wonderful sense of seclusion within the grounds, offering a tranquil retreat that feels a world away from the everyday, despite being just moments from the heart of Deloraine.
Further enhancing the property's versatility is a separate cottage/studio, complete with an attached sunroom overlooking the established surrounds. Full of charm and potential, this additional space could lend itself beautifully to a creative studio, hobby room, home office or peaceful retreat, providing an inviting place to relax and take in the garden setting.
For those looking beyond the existing residence, the generous allotment and General Residential zoning may also present opportunities to explore further development or subdivision, subject to all necessary council and planning approvals.
Conveniently positioned within easy reach of Deloraine's cafés, boutique stores, schools and everyday amenities, "Fairview" enjoys the lifestyle benefits of one of Tasmania's most picturesque country towns. With the Meander River, walking trails and the magnificent Great Western Tiers nearby, the location offers an appealing balance of country charm and convenience.
Homes such as "Fairview" are becoming increasingly difficult to find. With its century old character, generous grounds and the opportunity to restore or reimagine a distinctive residence, this is much more than simply a property purchase.
An opportunity to become the next custodian of "Fairview", honour its past and shape its next chapter for generations to come.
* Proposed plans for conversion to a five bedroom, three bathroom residence are available upon request.
