101 Main Rd, Campbells Creek VIC 3451

Nestled privately behind a quince hedge, this charming double-fronted circa 1860s solid brick cottage features a sympathetic Colorbond addition to the rear, offering the perfect balance of historic elegance and modern comfort. Ideally positioned, the property is a short walk from almost everything Campbells Creek offers, including the Five Flags Hotel, a primary school, local merchants, a post office, and the Campbells Creek Recreation Reserve. A short drive takes you into Castlemaine for additional retail and amenities, providing the best of both worlds-peaceful living with easy access to town conveniences.

Upon arrival, the wisteria-clad front verandah, with large period flagstone paving, invites you in, where the original cottage exudes old-world charm with its high ceilings, timber flooring, and double-hung windows, complemented by modern artistic touches. The spacious, north-facing open-plan living area at the rear features a soaring cove ceiling, a Nectre solid wood heater, and access to the wrap-around verandah, creating a perfect space for relaxation and entertaining. The kitchen features a gas cooktop, under-mount oven, pantry, and a timber benchtop that wraps around for casual dining.

The main bedroom, tucked within the original section of the home, offers a peaceful retreat with an adjoining, light-filled study or potential walk-in robe, highlighted by a beautiful stained glass bay window. A generous sitting room, complete with a period fireplace and tile detail, is positioned at the front of the home and opens onto the front verandah, adding to the overall appeal of the cottage. The second bedroom enjoys an outlook to the back garden and has private access to the rear verandah. The home has a well-appointed bathroom with a shower, bath, and vanity, and the laundry with a separate toilet for added convenience.
