If it is location that you want when purchasing a family home, the cottage at 45 Bull Street has it all: A comfortable two-minute stroll to the North Primary school gate; three minutes to the Kalimna Park Golf course; and four doors down from the historic Buda House and Gardens. The house is situated in the heart of the traditional grid of the town, only 4 blocks up from the Town Hall, whilst being just the right distance from Barker Street to avoid any traffic noise.
This solid brick home is one of the Towns oldest and best preserved buildings from the Goldrush era, dating back to 1859. It was built by master craftsman, Joseph Narll who was commissioned to build several cottages across Castlemaine during the Goldrush, but it was 45 Bull Street that he constructed as his own home.
The Pyrenees flagstone verandah enjoys views across the town and out to Mount Franklin. The seemingly endless North-facing cottage garden to the rear of the house has been raised and restored to its former glory. There are David Austin roses, mature shade trees, passionfruit and jasmine vines, paths circling up to a chook run, great composting arrangement, and a large potting shed with wood storage. Brand new hardwood pailing fences on both sides ensure privacy and seclusion whilst mature fruit trees and a magnificent yellow box gum, create the perfect summertime shade garden.
The house offers the choice of four fully operational fireplaces and Scandinavian-made slow combustion stoves together with newly installed Mitsubishi Multi-split systems delivering heating and cooling to all bedrooms and living areas.
The front bedrooms are constructed with typical Victorian grandeur with 12-foot ceilings and slate roof. The front of the house has undergone significant modernisation with the addition of underfloor and roof insulation, restumping of the front rooms and a complete rewiring.
A large evacuated-tube solar hot water system helps to significantly reduce power bills across the year. Whilst the home also includes a plumbed-in supply for a modern 15-amp espresso machine. The kitchen offers a brand new Miele dishwasher and large gas/electric Italian Delonghi stove with powerful extraction built into the traditional kitchen hearth.
A vast bathroom and laundry area offers a bathtub/shower, with infra heating enjoys lush views to the back garden, via mature wisteria vines and a loveseat. French doors open from the living area to a courtyard delivering morning sun, and a seamless transition from the coziest living room you could imagine, out to the gorgeous surrounds of a perfectly situated country town escape.
