What's around 3 Chapel Street South

Elevated cottage on a beautiful Maldon block Restoration opportunity

Some homes are ready to move straight into. Others offer an excellent opportunity to restore, reshape and create something genuinely satisfying over time. This original 1881 cottage sits firmly in the latter category. Set on approximately 1,831m² in an elevated position with views across the surrounding hills, the property offers a chance to secure a substantial block and a historic cottage within easy reach of Maldon's celebrated village centre. The setting itself is compelling, spacious, established and peaceful, with the kind of outlook that is difficult to replicate. The original double-fronted façade remains intact, while timber-lined front rooms and original fireplaces speak to the home's long history. A mid-century breezeway links the original cottage to the kitchen at the rear, reflecting the gradual evolution of the property over many decades. The current floor plan includes a sitting room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with reverse-cycle heating and cooling, an additional air-conditioning unit in the kitchen and a good-sized cellar beneath the home. Outside, mature fruit trees including quince, peach and plum are scattered across the gently sloping block, while a large carport, additional external toilet and extensive solar infrastructure add practical functionality to the site. The home now requires significant restoration and renewal, with the opportunity lying in the combination of land, position and period character. For buyers with vision and an appreciation for historic homes, this is a chance to undertake a rewarding renovation project in one of central Victoria's most admired historic townships.
