20 High Street

Fryerstown VIC 3451

During the Goldrush of the 1880s Fryerstown had over 10,000 inhabitants, but now it's a quiet village dotted with historic buildings, and this is one of them! The original stone property, on 1/2 acre facing High Street, maintains many of its original features, with several additions over the past 100 years including a very recent renovation that brings it bang into the 21st Century. The three carpeted bedrooms are in the original part of the house, two with high ceilings, one with a BIR and the other with an exposed-stone wall. The separate lounge room with open fireplace leads into the open plan living/dining area with flag-stone floor that opens up to the light living-space with hard wood floors and double glazed sliding doors to the huge entertainers' deck. The stunning, spacious, modern kitchen, with quality appliances, 900ml oven, timber bench tops, scullery and breakfast bar, completes the perfect mix of new and old, as does the new bathroom and laundry; there's even a underground cellar! Outside, the original Gold Registrar's Office (complete with original timber floor, fire place & covered storage) has been converted into a useable space for an extra bedroom, studio or home office with views across Fryers Creek and beyond. There's a double garage, brick garden shed, drystone walls and landscaped gardens - including kitchen garden, lawns, fruit trees and mature native trees. Connected to mains water, power and NBN, and only 12 minutes to Castlemaine or 8 to Chewton. Modern country living in a heritage home.
