Properties like this do not come along often.
Positioned in a tightly held pocket of Ranelagh and just around the corner from the renowned Summer Kitchen Bakery, this is a rare opportunity to secure an original, character filled cottage on a generous parcel of land with the potential for offering exciting possibilities in the future.
Set on approximately 0.0907ha of General Residential zoned land, the property enjoys frontage to both Elizabeth Street and North Huon Road, presenting an opportunity that will appeal to renovators, investors and those seeking future development potential. The dual street access, combined with connection to town water, may offer scope for future subdivision or redevelopment (STCA).
Built in 1922, this original two bedroom cottage, a much loved family home, is now ready for its next chapter. Requiring extensive renovation, it is packed with character and original features, offering a rewarding project for those with the vision to restore a classic home and reap the benefits. Timber floors, a recent electrical upgrade, retro features and original charm provide a wonderful foundation for restoration.
Inside, the home features a partially enclosed verandah space, alongside an open plan dining and lounge area, warmed by a Saxon wood heater. The original, single wall kitchen is fitted with a freestanding cooker, incorporating both an oven and cooktop. An additional tap, fitted to the kitchen wall, connects to rainwater from the shed roof, collected in a water tank behind the shed. The bathroom is also in original condition, with a matching period sink and bathtub with shower, alongside a modern toilet. Both bedrooms are generously sized and feature high ceilings, along with original floor and wall finishes, providing a genuine glimpse into the character and styling of a bygone era.
From the front deck, there are partial views of the Huon River, while also taking in the Ranelagh township and the surrounding hillsides. The timber deck extends along two sides of the home, complete with lattice balustrading, which complements the cottage's character, offering a peaceful place to unwind, whether curled up with a good book or enjoying a glass of wine with friends while taking in the surrounding views.
Outside, the property offers extensive shedding and storage infrastructure. A large shed with concrete floor, located behind the house, is serviced by a bitumen driveway and spans two sides of the block, providing substantial accommodation for vehicles, equipment and timber storage by incorporating two enclosed bays, an additional carport, a generous woodshed and a separate toilet.
Adding further appeal to the property, located behind the shed is an expansive sloping lawn and established vegetable garden, whereby two original outbuildings can be located, a workshop and a chicken shed. Constructed from timber in a style seldom seen today, these charming structures showcase the craftsmanship and character of times gone by, offering a unique glimpse into the property's history.
Offering a combination of renovation potential, character features and possible future development opportunities, this unique Ranelagh property presents a rare chance to secure a sizeable holding in a highly sought after location.
