This delightful two bedroom period cottage retains many features from its original construction yet has been transformed into a stunning example of today's living. The rustic wooden floors throughout demonstrate the wear and tear of eras gone by. The kitchen has been tastefully updated, filling you with a sense of cosy living rather than a domestic space. With gas cooking and space for a dishwasher, hints that you can still have modern features whilst living in the country. A combustion heater and air conditioning along with its unique style in the lounge creates a cosy feel and genuine warmth. Sweeping style french doors open to the garden from the bedrooms, creating a spacious feel to this weatherboard delight. The bathroom has been renovated with a fresh feel, and a quaint front and back veranda overlook the extensive block to complete the picture. With town water, Wireless NBN, Septic tanks and bottled gas, there is no need to feel too far removed. Situated in the lovely township of Smeaton, just one block from the Cumberland hotel and township and not far from the renowned Andersons Mill, this is a sweet property in a sweet position. Why pay more by living in nearby Daylesford when this special property, listed on the Hepburn Heritage register, is situated only 15 mins away or a quick 30 minutes drive to Ballarat's thriving CBD. Commuting to Melbourne is also an option, as just 90 minutes drive will get you there. Please call to arrange an inspection.
