Some homes have a story to tell, and Dolly's Cottage is one of them.
Dating back to the late 1800s, this charming cottage has been home to generations of local families. In the early 1900s, it was occupied by Mr and Mrs Jack Meers before being purchased by Mr and Mrs Bennett, who raised their six children here - including their daughter Dorothy, affectionately known as Dolly.
In the early 1950s, Dolly Martin (née Bennett) took over her childhood home and went on to raise six children of her own here. She remained at the property until her passing in 2009, and over the years the home became affectionately known as Dolly's Place.
Refurbished in 2011, the cottage retains the character and warmth of its past while offering comfortable everyday living.
Set on approximately 593m², the home features two bedrooms, one bathroom, a welcoming living area with split-system air conditioning and a light-filled sunroom providing valuable additional living space. The kitchen retains a wonderful original stove/fireplace feature, providing a tangible connection to the cottage's history.
Outside, established gardens complement the traditional cottage façade, while a substantial newer shed, side-lane access and two driveways provide excellent practicality for vehicles, storage and hobbies.
