Nestled in Hepburn Springs and only a five-minute drive to Daylesford. This delightful cottage is steeped in local history boasting four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Period features such as high ceilings, large rooms and the original wooden floorboards. This home also has all the necessary modern comforts including ducted gas heating throughout, updated bathrooms and kitchen with ceiling fans in each bedroom and the lounge room. There is off-street parking for two cars and significant storage under the house. The beautiful established garden is a feast for the eyes and pulls out all the stops in autumn and spring. The kitchen is glorious and light-filled in the mornings, large enough for a dining table and the spot that my family gravitated to in all seasons; the cosiest moments spent around the table, being warmed by the Ned Kelly wood-fired heater. The master bedroom is positioned at the rear of the house with a large modern ensuite and private views of the side garden. The yard is fenced and includes a recently installed six-foot picket fence at the side and rear, for those dogs that like to jump. This home hits the delicate balance between privacy and the convenience of being a short walk from world-class dining and local shops in the heart of Hepburn Village. From the village you can cross the footbridge and be at the Hepburn Bath House & Spa, for a warm mineral soak (for a significant 'local discount" - shhhh). Hepburn Springs is also the gateway to many glorious walking trails. For the younger family members, there are four local primary schools, including The Dharma Buddhist School. These schools feed into Daylesford Secondary College and many other options that are available via public transport. There is so much to explore within walking distance from the home and also everything that Daylesford has to offer just a five-minute drive away. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to hear more.
