Phoebe's Cottage – A Historic Gem in the Heart of Lyonville

Located between Daylesford and Trentham in the peaceful village of Lyonville, Phoebe's Cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a slice of history. Set on a generous 2522m2 corner block with beautifully established gardens, this faithfully restored two-bedroom, two-bathroom home blends 19th-century charm with the comforts of modern living, making it the perfect permanent residence or idyllic country retreat. Built in 1875 as part of Lyonville's early timber milling settlement, the cottage has been thoughtfully restored to honour its heritage. Original features such as timber panelling, high ceilings, and period detailing are complemented by stylish updates that enhance its character and functionality. The heart of the home is the cosy living area, where original charm meets contemporary comfort, complete with wood burning fire. The kitchen is well-equipped, offering space for preparing meals while enjoying views of the lush garden. The two spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, including one with a cast iron claw-foot bath, provide both practicality and timeless elegance. Outside, the gardens offer privacy, tranquillity, and seasonal beauty, with established walnut trees, manicured lawns, and breathtaking views of Mount Babbington. The space invites you to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the ever-changing natural surroundings. Lyonville itself offers a peaceful village atmosphere, complete with shady streets, boutique market stalls, and the iconic Radio Springs Hotel within walking distance. Just a short drive to the popular towns of Daylesford and Trentham, the location is ideal for exploring the Hepburn region while enjoying a quieter pace of life. With its blend of history, character, and modern comfort, Phoebe's Cottage is perfectly suited for astute buyers seeking a serene escape or a permanent home in the countryside.
