Built in the 1800s and framed by gardens that have matured with grace, this timber cottage captures the enduring spirit of country life in historic Maldon. Its wisteria-draped façade welcomes you into a home rich with texture, charm and quiet beauty.
Inside, original Baltic pine floors and timber-lined ceilings set a warm tone for relaxed living. The open-plan living room, anchored by a wood heater and reverse-cycle air conditioning, flows to a kitchen featuring timber benchtops, stainless steel appliances and a gas cooktop – a true country kitchen made for conversation and comfort. A quaint front sitting room, dressed in floral wallpaper, offers an intimate retreat, while four bedrooms on the ground level provide space for family or guests. Upstairs, a versatile loft adds flexibility – ideal as a workspace, studio or peaceful extra living area.
French doors open to the garden, where winding paths lead to a covered brick-paved alfresco area at the rear – perfect for outdoor dining. Beyond, the garden unfolds with fruit trees, shady nooks and open green lawns bordered by the Australian bush. It’s a home that invites slow mornings and long afternoons, where every corner holds a story.
