Wrapped in wisteria and brimming with old-world charm, this enchanting 1870s settler’s cottage is a little piece of Greytown’s history. Full of personality, warmth and timeless appeal, it’s the kind of place that captures your heart, whether you’re seeking a weekend escape or a character-filled home to treasure year-round.



Thoughtfully refreshed while retaining its heritage soul, this much-admired three-bedroom cottage is rich in character, with beautiful original features and a striking timber ceiling in the front parlour. A cosy lounge invites slow mornings and relaxed evenings, while the handy study nook is perfect for curling up with a book or settling in to work.



A heat pump, wood burner, insulation and a Coloursteel roof bring modern comfort without compromising the home’s enduring charm.



Outside, the generous 1,233m² (approx.) grounds are a delight, with established gardens, mature fruit trees, productive vegetable patches and a private back lawn offering plenty of room to potter, play and unwind. Tucked away in the garden, an inviting outdoor entertaining area is designed for long summer lunches, evening barbecues and good times with friends.



A separate garage provides excellent storage, complemented by a dedicated home office.



And for those with a little imagination, there’s further potential to explore. The current vendors have plans for an extension they won’t be pursuing as they prepare for an overseas move, leaving an exciting opportunity for the next owners to build on the cottage’s story and create something truly special.



A home with history, a garden with soul and charm in every corner; this is Greytown living at its most enchanting.
