THIS two-road frontage, York small acreage property has all the charm of yesterday with modern features.

The picturesque country residence set on the foothills of Mount Bakewell was the original site of Braeside Cottage circa 1860s and has been rebuilt to represent that era.

The home is a great example of a Victorian Georgian dwelling, featuring two fireplaces and a wood stove in the kitchen, along with fine examples of in-built cabinets by a Welsh tradesman, with stone fireplace surrounds to give that great warm country relaxing area to enjoy a winter’s night.

The home also has a separate lounge-entertainment area at the front with a fireplace and crafted wooden cabinets and shelving and a separate dining area.

This house is a three-bedroom one bathroom house that has been renovated to offer a small degree of modernism with high pitched ceilings in the main living area, with the old charm kept to the fullest, while offering modern high speed NBN access.

After coming through, the front house into the back area, you will be amazed with the open living area, that comes into a good size kitchen.

Access to the side of the house is also available through the internal laundry leading to a small garden area.

The home is ready for a good size family or a place to relax with friends.

Out of the house there is a great cottage garden with plenty of trees, with views and the backdrop of Mt Bakewell.

The property is 3653sqm with plenty of space for a granny flat, vegetable gardens, chicken coops or whatever takes your fancy and is located on the edge of town where the old market gardens used to be located.
