One of Braidwood's iconic historic properties "The Old Gunsmiths" featured in magazine articles, local folklore and legendary bushranger tales is now for sale , for the first time in over 60 years.
It is believed one of the notorious Clarke gang, after having work done to his armory hid in a "secret" cupboard when the local constable arrived to pick up his weapon after having it repaired.
This cupboard is accessed at the top of the stairs and is actually part of the attic, not easily accessed but could be if you were in a hurry to hide from the local copper!
The 5 bedroom home , 3 beds down , two upstairs has a large living room with wood burning heater at the front and open plan meals /kitchen at the rear with another wood burning heater, 2 open fire places have been blocked off but could easily be opened again to create even more ambience.
The large block of 1170m2 albeit an unusual shape provides plenty of space for a cricket pitch, football oval or a big country veggie patch.
Just a short level walk to the main street (240m) or schools and recreation ground the convenience of the location can't be underestimated.
This is an opportunity that comes along only every 60 years or so- an early inspection is recommended.
