Grand in style, this circa 1800's family home provides a glimpse into the past on how quality homes were built. Set amidst just over 3 hectares of prime land, Cotswold Homestead is a remarkable piece of Lachlan history, offering an extraordinary opportunity to own a home where character, heritage and country lifestyle come together in a truly distinctive way.
Dating from the 1830s through to the 1890s, this substantial historic residence tells a story across generations. The original 1830s cottage, rebuilt during the 1970s, sits seamlessly alongside the principal home constructed in the 1890s, creating an intriguing and beautifully evolved homestead.
From the moment you step inside, the quality and craftsmanship of another era are immediately apparent. High ceilings, generous proportions, bay windows, open fireplaces and an abundance of original character create an atmosphere that is increasingly difficult to find in modern homes.
The three principal bedrooms are exceptionally spacious, with two enjoying beautiful bay windows and built-in robes. A grand formal lounge captures the northern aspect and provides an inviting space for family living, while the formal dining room offers an elegant setting for entertaining.
An office and study provide excellent flexibility for those working from home, while the adjoining cottage component introduces an entirely separate dimension to the property, complete with kitchenette and additional living space - ideal for extended family, guests, creative pursuits or a private retreat.
Throughout the home, numerous open fireplaces reinforce the property's historic character, complemented by a wood heater and panel heating to provide comfort throughout the seasons.
Outside, the gardens are every bit as captivating as the home. Established shrubs, flowering plants and mature trees - some believed to be as old as the property itself - create a wonderfully established setting with a sense of permanence and tranquility.
The grounds extend across just over three hectares, providing space, privacy and genuine lifestyle potential. Town water is connected to the residence, while a pump on the Lachlan River, with piping extending to sections of the garden, provides an additional water resource for the established grounds.
Importantly, the property carries a historic heritage listing (C714), with some approved modifications acknowledged within its heritage provisions. It is described as demonstrating "the principal characteristics of a single storey, weatherboard Victorian Georgian domestic building."
Located approx. 3km's from the centre of New Norfolk, with its schools, shops, services and growing café and dining scene, while Hobart's city centre is approx. 38km's away, the property combines the serenity of a substantial rural holding with convenient access to everyday amenities and the capital.
Cotswold Homestead is far more than a home. It is a remarkable link to Tasmania's past, a substantial country property with an established garden, generous landholding and a character that simply cannot be replicated.
