'Osborne Cottage'
Steeped in old-world charm, this 1873 cottage offers a glorious opportunity to secure your very own piece of history. Originally the Wesley Church and then later the Green Island Common School, local residents, George and Catherina Thorne, later purchased the two-bedroom cottage, which sat on a 20-acre landholding at the time, and raised six children there. Builders, renovators or restorers have exciting scope to reinvent/rebuild this adorable Tudor-style gem on a 414m2 (approx) parcel, which includes two bedrooms, a modest kitchen with wall oven and a bathroom with clawfoot tub.
Given the uniqueness of the property and the history contained within, the property has the opportunity to be a distinctive and special place which is not able to be established just anywhere.
