This solid 1890s stone cottage in the heart of Quorn offers genuine character, a double block, and real scope for a skilled renovator or savvy investor. Built in the railway worker tradition, it has the bones and the location, and is priced to reflect the opportunity.

Updated since 2007, the cottage has been progressively improved and now has all modern essentials: mains power, water, septic, and solar. The back of the house has been fully re-roofed with a new solar system and inverter installed. The kitchen has been cleared and is ready for you to design and fit out to your own specification.

Lifestyle & Location
The property has served as a permanent home, a retreat, and a rental. It suits a range of uses: permanent residence, holiday base, or investment, and the double block gives scope well beyond the existing footprint.
Quorn sits at the gateway to the Flinders Ranges, a thriving historic town known for the Pichi Richi Railway, the Silo Light Show, and strong tourist visitation year-round. The cottage is opposite a large park with the creek running through, and within easy walking distance of the pool, library, cafés, and the historic Railway Station.

Opportunities
For the Renovator
The property is priced to reflect its current condition. With solid stone construction, a freshly re-roofed back section, and all services connected, the main work is the kitchen fit-out and salt damp remediation. One whole block is completely vacant, offering scope for a large granny flat, shed with hoist, garage, tiny home, or a combination of uses (STCC).
