Some homes are simply places to live. Others have a way of capturing your heart from the moment you arrive. Dating back to circa 1885, Old Hanbury Cottage is one of those rare treasures, where history, character and an unmistakable sense of romance come together to create something truly special.
Beyond the charming weatherboard façade, intricate Victorian fretwork and beautifully manicured gardens, a home rich in personality and period elegance awaits. Original Baltic pine floors, graceful sash windows, ornate cornices and magnificent chandeliers tell stories of a bygone era, while thoughtfully curated interiors bring warmth, individuality and a touch of theatrical charm to every room.
The inviting living and dining spaces offer an intimate setting for quiet afternoons and memorable gatherings, while the character-filled kitchen, with its striking black-and-white chequered floors, timber benchtops and cosy wood fire, feels like the heart of the home. Three beautifully appointed bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, complemented by a central bathroom, gas heating and evaporative cooling for year-round comfort.
Outside, the romance continues. Beautifully established gardens, clipped hedges and a delightful mini olive grove create a private sanctuary, while the generous brick-paved courtyard invites long lunches, evenings beneath festoon lights and conversations around the fire pit as the seasons change.
Perfectly positioned within walking distance of the Botanical Gardens, boutique shops, cafés and train station, this enchanting cottage offers the pleasure of village living with every convenience close at hand.
Old Hanbury Cottage is more than a home; it is a piece of history, a celebration of individuality and an invitation to slow down, settle in and fall in love with a lifestyle that feels wonderfully timeless.
