This super quaint cottage was originally built in 1880, and is packing plenty of charm. Upgraded over the years, introducing modern day comforts, the cottage now offers an open plan living, dining and kitchen with 3 good sized bedrooms and a large family bathroom. Located back off of the Main Street provides a more peaceful position, yet is a level walk to the shops, cafés and the riverfront for your evening strolls.
Turning up Church Street to Coleman St, the cottage comes into sight looking pretty with its idyllic white picket fence and stone steps onto the verandah. Beautiful lead-light stained glass frames the front door, welcoming you inside. Gorgeous Tassie Oak timber floors, high ceilings, solid timber doors and fireplaces, all add to the period charm. Through to the main living, there is a slow combustion wood fire, providing a lovely warmth in the cooler months as well as a great atmosphere. A reverse cycle air-conditioner will otherwise keep you comfortable all year round with ease.
Out the back, the rear covered entertaining is super private, a great spot to sit back and enjoy the natural surrounds. Just over the fence is the little Prices Creek, this flows all year round and provides a nice soothing sound as the water babbles on past. Out here, there is a spa, included with the property, and inside another spa is located in the bathroom as well as a separate shower.
Up the stairs leads you to the attic space. This takes in the whole roof area of the original cottage, possibly allowing for more rooms. A dorma window up here would even get you a river view. Otherwise, this is a huge area for storing all the things you don't need on a regular basis. Down the side, the driveway is covered with a double length carport, leading to a storage shed, ideal for the garden tools. It is the wonderful secluded feel that this cottage enjoys, despite the super practical central location, that makes it so appealing, not to mention the idyllic quaint look.
Franklin is an Historic riverside town with a choice of eateries and cafés. The primary school in just up in behind and there are plenty of public facilities along the foreshore. Known for the high concentration of historic buildings, the whole town is super quaint. Opposite the property is the Wooden Boat School and the Living Boat Trust, celebrating all things wooden boat. Join the Skiff rowers or pop in your own kayak. The perspective from the river looking back over the township and surrounding hills will captivate you.
