Positioned right in the heart of the historic riverside town of Franklin, this charming cottage is as quaint as they come. Originally built in 1890, there are a lot of period features remaining including high ceilings, wide timber floor boards, pressed tin and baltic ceilings, ornate fretwork and even loft bedrooms with dormer windows. Perfectly comfortable as it is, otherwise would also make a fantastic renovation project. As is, this has to be one of the most affordable homes along the Main Street of Franklin.
It all starts with the white picket fence. There is an array of colour from the garden that provides a wonderful barrier from the road and a hint of what is behind to explore. Through the gate, you are led up the path onto the verandah and welcomed in through the character front door.
The typical floor plan has been updated. There are the traditional two rooms on one side of the hall, but the on other side, those rooms are now one open plan kitchen, dining and living. The bathroom is now within the cottage at the rear and up stairs, there are two bedroom or you may prefer one bedroom with a large dressing room.
Vehicle access is up a side alley and through the gate at the rear of the property. Totalling 479m2, the backyard is super private and provides a surprising amount of space for cars, a storage shed and a mature garden setting. The property over the back fence has a wonderful garden that this cottage gets to enjoy.
Franklin is situated along the shores of the Huon River, providing a great setting for evening strolls, literally across the road. Franklin has many eateries/cafés to choose from and known for its water activities, particularly all things wooden boat. Pop in your kayak for a paddle and explore the canal through Egg Islands or simply enjoy the scenery and chat with the other locals also out and about.
The main hub of the Huon Valley is at Huonville 10 minutes up the road and Hobart is a picturesque 40 minute drive.
