There are so many ways to look at this offering on just under four and a half pastoral acres with two bedroom weatherboard cottage (circa 1956). Less than 5km from the Sheffield township with views looking straight at the face of Mount Roland and over surrounding farmlands. This property is ideally and very conveniently located on local tourist routes opens the door for many opportunities and could be a prospectors delight.

Is it an entry level first owner property; is it a make-over in waiting to update this quaint cottage; is it an expand or build upon; or is it an investment to re-imagine and completely redesign opportunity; all have merit and all are attractive options for potential purchasers. There is however no doubt that 473 Claude Road presents opportunity for a wide audience of potential purchasers.

The property has been in the same family ownership since building commenced in the mid 1950’s. The weatherboard cottage has very sound bones, and was certainly built to last giving new owners a strong foundation to restore or modernise. The cottage was rewired in 2018 and new meter box installed. Heating is provided by a freestanding wood heater and heating of the cottage is very effective given its modest size. Timber flooring is capable of stripping back to polish and expose the grain. The interior cladding is original masonite lining and the interior paint scheme is reflective of the era in many rural homesteads of the 1950’s and 60’s and relining and or repaint would freshen and brighten the interior. The kitchen is a modest galley style with electric stove and kitchen sink and cabinet leading into an open plan living and dining room off which the two bedrooms are accessed. To the west of the bedrooms the double front doors open to a sunroom which captures the afternoon sunlight and would make an ideal home office or reading room.
