Why they chose this property
this miners cottage has been renovated in cool scandi styling with plenty of old world charm. Walk to the wine store which is just at the end of the street, the local coffee shop too, and skip across road to the walk everywhere!
soaring ceilings and stained windows keep the cottage bright and light, yet privacy is assured as the fencing and gardens surround the property so you can truly relax - pefect to chill out on wrap around deck

What makes this property unique
we fell in love with the cottage as soon as we saw it - the location is AMAZING and the house is so comfortable - we decided to keep many of the original features so that you feel the history but still have all the modern conveniences we all love. the cottage garden is a delight and changes throughout the seasons, a pleasure to enjoy all year around.
