Located in the centre of the lovely rural village of Lilydale, 20 minutes north-east of Launceston, this lovely Victorian era home has much more to offer than just a home.
With many major services conveniently located a very short walk away, including a school which caters for children from pre-kindergarten to high school year 10, you will have everything you need at your fingertips.
The property is currently utilised as caf/business (The Bean Barrow Espresso, established in 2018) at the front, with residence to the rear.
The building itself offers 3 bedrooms (1 currently utilised as a storeroom), all rooms including dining, have original working fireplaces, with the lounge having a small wood-fired combustion heater installed.
A reverse cycle air conditioner is located in the kitchen/dining area.
Both back & front doors lead into the wide central hallway, with bedrooms on one side & kitchen, living & dining spaces on the other.
The lounge, hallway, bathroom, main bedroom & much of the kitchen have been extensively renovated in keeping with the era of the house.
An attached laundry is located near the back entrance of the house with second toilet & vanity.
Whilst there is still some renovation work required to return this beautiful old building to its former glory, it is well underway. There is also definitely still scope to put your own touches on the place & make it your own.
Rocky creek is the rear boundary of the property. The creek runs all year round & is home to many trout & two resident Platypuses, all of whom show themselves on a regular basis.
