Some homes simply have a story to tell. This is one of them.
Wander the quiet, history-filled lanes of Goolwa's tightly held Little Scotland, where the charm of the past meets the relaxed rhythm of coastal living. Once part of the town's proud boat-building heritage and featured along the Heritage Walk, this beautifully restored 1850s cottage is a rare offering, rich in character, history and timeless appeal.
Arriving at the home, a classic white picket fence welcomes you. Move through the gate and towards the charming character front door, where the warmth and personality of this beautiful residence are immediately revealed. Inside, solid stone walls showcase the craftsmanship of generations past, while the beautifully restored fireplace with a slow-combustion heater creates a cosy focal point, adding warmth, character and ambience.
The welcoming lounge is rich in character, showcasing Turkish travertine flooring, a statement chandelier, and a traditional window dressed with elegant plantation shutters. This inviting space perfectly reflects the timeless charm of the home, offering a place to relax, unwind and enjoy the character that makes this cottage so special.
The home offers two inviting bedrooms, with the main featuring reverse-cycle air conditioning and the second fitted with a ceiling fan. Both are finished with elegant plantation shutters that complement the home's heritage charm.
A second living area offers exceptional versatility and could be used as a home office, hobby room or peaceful reading nook.
Further into the cottage, the kitchen and casual dining area provide a beautiful blend of character and modern convenience. Featuring an electric cooktop, oven, discreet overhead rangehood, island bench and reverse-cycle air conditioning, it is a comfortable and inviting space where conversations naturally flow and everyday moments are enjoyed.
The bathroom includes both a bath and separate shower, while a separate restroom provides everyday convenience.
Step outside to discover a private backyard sanctuary. The enchanting cottage-style gardens, lovingly maintained using organic, pesticide-free practices, burst with seasonal colour and provide a peaceful setting to relax and unwind. The undercover entertaining area overlooks the lush lawn, making it the perfect place for weekend barbecues, afternoon drinks, or a quiet morning coffee surrounded by nature. Secure fencing ensures privacy, while the carport features an automatic roller door, built-in storage, and a second roller door providing convenient rear lane access. A separate utility/storage room offers additional flexibility and could easily be converted into a future laundry, subject to your needs.
Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully enhanced, this original stone cottage successfully blends its rich heritage with modern comfort. The kitchen extension is a more recent addition, offering further potential to extend or enhance the home, subject to the necessary council approvals.
