Beautiful old Heritage listed "Laurel Cottage", is a true example of the original cottages that still stand today. It has maintained a lot of the original features of yesteryear and gives you that feeling of being back in the day. You cant beat those lovely old gardens that surround the home and its neighbour. They take years to establish and embed themselves into the history of the homes.

A lovely timber lined entrance invites you into the cottage with dark polished timber floors and doors and a carpet runner, reminiscent of the old days.

This old girl has had the kitchen updated but retains a look of along ago with some newer additions to be practical. Like the large china sink which also helps with the laundry aspect which is incorporated in the with the kitchen for convenience and space. The lovely old original fireplace takes pride of place and could be used as is or utilised some other way. The dining area is also in the kitchen just like they always were, the hub of the home for many years. There are still the older built-in cupboards and the slate floor that adds to that cosy feel.

The main bedroom leads off from the kitchen and hosts the main bathroom for the home. Across the entrance to the living room, also with dark polished floors and large mat. A cosy wood-heater fitted into the fireplace for more practical heating for the home. Off the living is the spacious second bedroom also with a built-in fireplace. A long room able to hold some different size beds to suit the needs of the family.

The old veranda that moseys along the back of the cottage. You can picture the old cane chairs that would have taken up residence there and used often.


Adding to the uniqueness of this particular offering to the market place, is the second residence that is situated behind "Laurel Cottage".


This newer addition to the this wonderful property, is a replica that has been erected to copy the "Overseers Cottage" from the infamous "Port Arthur" and enhances the listing of its neighbour. This home offers a veranda front and back of the home and both enjoys the lovely outlook of the old world garden.

A large open front entrance takes you into the home hosting slate floor tiles that lead through and into the family kitchen complete with warm timber cupboards, upright stove, single sink and lovely views out to the garden. The main bedroom is also off the front entrance keeping it separate and private from the living. The living area itself is divided with a dual fireplace , a marvellous idea for heating the home throughout. Both rooms are spacious, creating two great useable spaces for the family and could also be used as a separate dining area and lounge. Two double glass doors lead off from both living areas on to the back veranda. A lovely place to entertain family and friends.

Upstairs in the attic rooms are two large bedrooms, ideal for the children and both with good walk-in storage space and one also with built-ins. There is also added storage space under the stairs and a linen cupboard. The main bathroom is a great size and hosts the vanity, separate shower, bath and w/c. The laundry is located just out back off the veranda and also has a second w/c, very convenient for the family.

Up the back yard is a large double carport with a lockable storage shed located at the rear. This completes this wonderful property.

To sum up these two amazing individual homes, "Laurel Cottage" and the replica "Overseers Cottage", situated in the heart of the Richmond Village, they both offer great potential for either two individual homes, or ideal investments. One or the other could be presented as a BNB or live in one and rent or BNB the other. Plenty of options to consider.
