"Mill Brook Cottage"

Built in 1924, this delightful two bedroom weatherboard cottage sits on approximately 6000sqm that includes a tree lined paddock with its own creek. The cottage is situated in the heart of historic Stroud, only a stroll from its cafes, country pub, general store and local produce shops. The home was fully renovated in 2020 and features a new kitchen that overlooks the garden. The substantial contemporary bathroom/laundry boasts a range of storage options and a large walk-in shower; hand-made Italian mosaic tiles surround a discreet shower window, offering an unexpected view into the garden. The sizeable open fireplace sets the scene for cosy winter nights and air conditioning keeps you comfortable all year round. The main bedroom includes a large three door built-in wardrobe and lush silk and bamboo carpet. The hand blown glass light fittings highlight both the original polished red gum floorboards and three art deco ceiling rosettes that have been carefully restored.

The polished floors flow out to the elevated 3m x 9m rear covered verandah, creating a seamless outdoor living area with stunning views across the sweeping acreage to the mountains beyond. The verandah continues around all sides of the house and can be accessed from three doors, creating a natural airflow. The house garden includes a range of heritage roses, flowering cottage plants, vegetables, low maintenance shrubs, ornamental and fruiting trees, surrounded by manicured lawns. Mill Brook Cottage is lovely home situated on a rare small acreage suitable for keeping a horse, creating an orchard or just enjoying the space.
