Welcome to Button Bee Cottage, a beautifully preserved piece of Goulburn's history, originally built in 1876 and thoughtfully modernised without ever compromising its remarkable character. Positioned on one of Goulburn's treasured heritage streets, just moments from cafés, parks and the CBD, this is a home that celebrates the craftsmanship of another era while embracing the comforts of today.
Behind the recycled wrought iron fence, hand-forged gate and sandstone frontage, an established cottage garden creates an unforgettable first impression. A French blue front door, vintage security screen and flourishing camellias, peonies, hydrangeas and wisteria set the tone before you've even stepped inside.
From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate the attention to detail that has made this home so special. Original timber floors, soaring ceilings, impressive 24cm skirting boards, double-hung windows, picture rails and elegant chandeliers combine to create a warmth that simply can't be replicated. Every modern improvement has been completed with respect for the home's heritage, right down to the original pull-cord light switches that still operate the new LED downlights.
Three generous bedrooms offer beautiful accommodation, with decorative fireplaces, abundant natural light and thoughtful additions including numerous double power points and gas heating points throughout. One of the original mantels was even carefully sourced from a heritage home in Balmain, adding another layer to the home's remarkable story.
The inviting lounge is the heart of the home, where a fireplace, feature windows and soft natural light create the perfect place to unwind. Flowing through to the spacious living and dining area, you'll discover built-in storage, a skylight, air conditioning and a unique walk-in storeroom, believed to have once served as the property's original meat store.
Recently completed in July 2026, the bathroom perfectly balances timeless style with contemporary luxury. Timber wall panelling, a generous vanity, standalone shower with recessed niche, black fittings, heat lamp and extensive towel storage create a space that feels both elegant and practical.
The kitchen is every bit as charming as it is functional. Original timber flooring, a striking Belling five-burner dual fuel cooker, dishwasher, breakfast bar, deep cottage windowsill and an abundance of cabinetry and power points make it a space you'll genuinely enjoy spending time in.
Open the timber sliding doors and the home continues to impress. The covered alfresco, complete with decorative Art Deco leadlight feature window and roll-down blinds effortlessly overlooking the lovely lawn, second entertaining area, rose hedges and a gated vegetable garden. Beyond this, you'll find an incredibly versatile collection of spaces including a studio, workshop, garage, storage, second shower, toilet and laundry, creating the ultimate indoor-outdoor lifestyle whether you're entertaining friends, pursuing hobbies or simply enjoying the slower pace of cottage living.
Practicality hasn't been forgotten either. The home was rewired in 2016, features sensor lighting, solar panels and a heat pump hot water system, keeping electricity costs to around $50 per month (excluding rates), while providing all the modern conveniences expected for everyday living.
Homes like Button Bee Cottage are exceptionally rare. Lovingly preserved, thoughtfully updated and filled with stories waiting for their next chapter, this is more than a beautiful home. It is an opportunity to become the custodian of one of Goulburn's most enchanting heritage properties.
