Dating back to the late 1880s, this special cottage plays an integral role in Kyneton’s streetscape, reflecting the town’s evolution from its early old gold days to the current, vibrant community.
It is now in the heart of the education precinct with a laneway, coined ‘the secret passageway’, on Wheatley Street, delivering children safely to the school crossing.
A delightful meadow style garden welcomes with its cottage plantings, meandering paths and elegant silver birches, offering a picturesque and private introduction to the home.
Step onto the front, undercover verandah, running the length of the home and imagine the countless stories that have been shared here over the decades.
Step inside to discover a thoughtful renovation that beautifully blend the home’s original heritage features with modern comforts, including hydronic heating, air conditioning and a stylish colour scheme that adds a timeless, contemporary touch.
Stepping through the traditional front door, you are greeted by a central hallway with two bedrooms flanking either side. The original timber floors, sash windows and an open fireplace in the highlight the home’s historical charm. The master suite on the right features a walk-through robe leading to an ensuite with a luxurious clawfoot bath.
The home opens into a spacious, central living space with a striking brick fireplace, leading to a sunny kitchen and dining area at the rear. An additional bedroom and a laundry with a second shower are cleverly incorporated into the layout, enhancing functionality.
Outside, the private side lawn area is perfect for children and pets. A double carport with an electronic roller door is accessible from Epping Street and an adjoining workshop offers versatile storage or creative space. It is fantastic to note the innovative upcycling of internal, original floorboards as a side gate.
Ideally located just moments from the education precinct, medical services, and a short stroll from the town centre, and just an hour from Melbourne, this special listing is sure to captivate downsizers, small families, heritage enthusiasts, garden lovers and those seeking a charming weekend retreat.
