Historic charm meets high-end design

A true Australian classic, this rare surviving 1880s weatherboard cottage has been masterfully reimagined by Gelder Group Architects in a remarkable revival that honours its historic charm while delivering a brand-new home for contemporary living.

Thoughtful spatial planning reveals a choice of living areas and four bedrooms, including a self-contained studio above a standalone lock-up garage that's perfect for guests, work or as an income earner.
