A Timeless Cottage Surrounded by Flourishing Gardens

In one of Daylesford’s most coveted pockets – just a single block from the Botanical Gardens and moments from the centre of town – this weatherboard cottage embodies heritage charm reimagined for modern living.

Framed by a white picket fence and flourishing gardens, the façade feels instantly welcoming, with a wide verandah offering the perfect perch to pause and take in the streetscape. Inside, character flows through every space – lofty ceilings, polished timber floors, and touches of stained glass that celebrate the home’s history, while modern comforts ensure an easy, relaxed lifestyle.

Two bedrooms create restful retreats, one with built-in robes and a charming window seat that overlooks the front garden. A central bathroom, clever hallway storage, and a discreet Euro laundry provide practical touches that never detract from the home’s warmth.

The kitchen and dining zone sits at the heart of the house, complete with an island bench, generous storage, and views out to the gardens. A gas heater brings cosiness to the adjoining living space, while the large picture framed window leads you out to a private alfresco terrace. Here, the cottage garden becomes a sanctuary – filled with camellias, sculpted beds, vegetable plots, and spaces for both quiet reflection and family gatherings.

A carport, potting shed, garden shed with concrete flooring, and water tank add thoughtful function, while solar panels feeding back to the grid support sustainability. Set on 1,013sqm approx, the grounds offer space to play, grow, and create.

This is more than a cottage; it is a home deeply rooted in heritage and nature, with every corner reflecting Daylesford’s rhythm of gardens, galleries, and village life.
