From the moment you step into this house you will be enthralled by the character and history of this lovely cottage. From the large open veranda you step through the front door into a large entrance hall. You will instantly be transformed to the old style charm of the late 1800s when this home was established. The home features all the original solid timber 4 panel doors, original ornate ceiling trays, beautiful mantel pieces in most rooms, stepped chimneys and inside the later constructed built-in cupboards you will find the old bells which would have been used to call on the maids back in the time. This approx. 21sq. home is full of old treasures and will be a delight to the creative person with plenty of potential to further develop areas of this home including the old kitchen which could be made into another room. What an opportunity to make this already Grand home into something even more special. This cottage is set on a large approx. 1467m2 block and situated in the former gold mining town of Beaconsfield. Located approx. 40km from the city of Launceston this historical town of nearly 2,000 people is self-sufficient with all conveniences such as supermarkets and a post office and it also includes various other shops and restaurants. Enjoy a great coffee at one of the local cafes or why not treat yourself to a nice homely meal at one of the 2 Hotels the town has to offer. At the front of the house are 4 double bedrooms (3 with built-in wardrobes) and a new tastefully renovated bathroom which encompasses the style and character of the home with claw foot bath and pedestal basin. At the rear of the house you will find the Blackwood kitchen which was remodelled about 10 yrs ago with plenty of cupboard and bench space as well as a separate formal dining area where you can entertain guests. The home is heated by a large wood fire that provides heat to 3 other areas of the home via the heat transfer system. The rest of the house can be kept warm and cosy by the lovely open fire places. At the rear of the property you will find numerous out buildings including the storage shed and large single garage with workshop. For a personal viewing of this unique home call Ken Jones.
