25 ZIEGLER Parade, Allansford VIC 3277

Romance will bloom when you first lay eyes on this ‘truly’ unique Allansford cottage. With the exact build date unknown at this stage, we can estimate it may have been mid to late 1800’s from a copy of the original Allansford subdivision dating 1855 that includes this block in its current dimensions. Mostly original, this piece of history is a credit to the current and all past owner’s for maintaining so much integrity of the original construction methods our early pioneers used.

If the charm of an original cottage hasn’t quite got you falling in love, then the impressive, landscaped gardens absolutely will. Surrounded with ‘the best lawn’ I have ever seen and a front garden that combines beauty and tranquillity all in one. Take a moment, to imagine your warm summer evenings sipping a wine or cold beverage with a bird’s eye view of theses stunning gardens from the character packed veranda. With options such as admiring your front garden with the soothing sound of trickling water in the background or sitting out the back on a spacious timber deck overlooking your lavish ‘bent grass’ lawn and large neighbouring trees in the background this will be a property hard to forget. This is the same grass used on bowling greens.

Once inside, we have 2 well-sized identically front bedrooms and a 3rd single sized bedroom being ideal for a kid’s room or home office, all featuring the original floorboards and timber ceilings. A large main bathroom includes a modern shower, large claw foot bath, gorgeous timber vanity and period tiling.

The rear of the home offers an open plan kitchen, dining and living combining floor boards for the living/ dining area and a tiled kitchen. The kitchen comprises of electric cooking and dishwasher with ample bench space and a full view of the rear yard. A cosy lounge with the charm of a wood heater and convenience of a split system. Access to the rear deck via the dining area offers a combination of undercover and open alfresco dining or sitting space.

To compliment the cosy, cottage style living we have a versatile studio, workshop or man cave complete with surrounding timber decking that’s limited by your imagination only. With loads of space for extra shedding or even just a carport a garage, this cute cottage still has further scope for improvement. If you love the cottage character, yet also enjoy a modern look there’s space with just over a 1000m2 of land to extend at the rear.
