This cottage, of immense charm, offers a unique opportunity to secure one of Port Fairy's authentic stone Whalers cottages. Built in 1855, by a local watchmaker, the cottage is full of character, still retaining many of its original appointments such as high ceilings, wide solid floorboards, exposed stone walls and open fireplaces but is complimented with modern conveniences such as an updated kitchen and natural gas appliances.
The front of the home has two generously proportioned bedrooms with one featuring an original open fire place and a central hallway leads to a spacious living room with natural gas heating. Adjacent to this living space is the main combined bathroom/laundry which has a shower over claw foot bath and vanity. The rear of the home has an open plan kitchen/dining space which features whitewashed stone walls, pine lined ceilings and a cosy wood heater. An extra sunroom provides a lovely space to spend an afternoon and French doors lead out to a sun drenched paved courtyard where absolute privacy is assured.
The cottage has immense street appeal and the 820m2 (approx.) garden is surrounded by striking stone walls and a single car garage supplies off street parking. This property presents a wonderful opportunity to live in the property as is, or take advantage of the surrounding space to extend to create a truly wonderful home. Located in a quiet location, just a short distance to all of the towns amenities, this cottage is a charming example of Port Fairy’s past and this is a rare opportunity to secure a piece of the town’s fabulous history!
