Located at the Lake side of this stunning Heritage village, and surrounded by immaculate gardens on almost an acre of land, is one of the beautiful Georgian Era homes this area is famous for. It was built in 1875 from beautifully dressed Sandstone by the town's resident Stonemason. The current owners have spent over 18 years restoring and expanding the original cottage including converting the adjoining shopfront to a spacious main bedroom with ensuite. The original cottage area now has a formal dining room, with double fireplace which backs onto the second bedroom; a gorgeous sitting room, also with a double fireplace onto the lovely kitchen. The kitchen fireplace has the original cooking crane for kettle and pots. It now boasts a 900mm gas/electric stove, granite benchtop and all modern conveniences while retaining the period atmosphere. At the back of the cottage is the third bedroom, main bathroom and second sitting room/kitchenette/laundry making this a perfect guest area. This area opens up to a paved courtyard with paths winding through the formal gardens. The stone pathways have been formed from the remains of an old Stable barn that was on the property. Behind the house is a large shed with a single garage (electric roller door) at one end and a partially insulated workshop at the other. A full-length veranda along the shed is framed by Wisteria vines making a lovely spot to sit and look out over the stunning and very productive gardens (with fruit trees and raised vegetable beds). On the other side of the shed are 3-storage bays with roller doors and beyond that is a grassed area large enough for a sheep or two. This property is close to the parklands and walkways that surround Lake Dulverton which has been stocked with trout. Oatlands has become an important hub for the Midlands as it has a Hospital/Medial Centre; a District Schools (Kinder to Year 12) as well as many shops, cafes and services. It now boasts a World Class Whisky Distillery and a new Aquatic Centre. Hobart is approx. an hours drive with major centres even closer.
