There is something particularly appealing about living in the heart of a beautiful country town, where cafés, restaurants, hotels and local shops are just a leisurely stroll from your front door. Add the charm and character of a historic cottage, and you have a rather special opportunity to enjoy the best of Angaston living.
Dating back to the late 1800s, this delightful character home is a wonderful reminder of Angaston’s rich history. With its attractive heritage-style frontage, traditional picket fence, established cottage gardens and beautiful period features, the property has a warmth and personality that is increasingly difficult to find.
Step through the front gate and into the pretty, well-established garden before discovering a home filled with character. Featuring three generous bedrooms, two with original fireplaces, the floor plan also includes a welcoming central living space with another open fireplace. The spacious country-style kitchen is particularly charming, complete with an original cast-iron wood stove, double porcelain butler’s sink and a delightful built-in window seat.
A large bathroom with spa bath, second toilet and separate laundry/utility room provide everyday practicality, while outside, the established gardens offer a lovely setting to relax and unwind. Of particular interest is a remarkable Zante currant vine, believed to have been planted around 1880, which continues to produce fruit and provide welcome shade more than 140 years later. An undercover area also provides sheltered vehicle parking.
Of course, one of the property’s greatest attractions is its outstanding position right in Angaston’s main street. Imagine wandering down for your morning coffee, enjoying breakfast at a local café, meeting friends for lunch or dinner, or simply strolling through the town’s charming streets and enjoying the atmosphere. Restaurants, hotels, bakeries, specialty shops and everyday conveniences are all close at hand, making this a wonderfully easy and enjoyable place to call home.
For families, both Angaston Primary School and Good Shepherd Lutheran School are conveniently located within the township, while the nearby Angaston Oval, tennis and netball courts and other sporting facilities add further appeal. There is a genuine sense of community here, with sporting clubs, local events and the friendly, relaxed pace of country town life all contributing to Angaston’s enduring popularity.
Rich in history, surrounded by character and positioned in one of the Barossa Valley’s most picturesque townships, this lovely old home offers far more than simply somewhere to live. It presents an opportunity to become part of Angaston’s story and enjoy a lifestyle where so much of what makes country living special is right on your doorstep.
