Love period homes, but baulk at cold and draughty? Read on…

This early 1900s weatherboard home is set on a huge dual-street-access block with views to the Cobaw Ranges. Its central location puts it within walking distance of shops, schools and Lancefield Park.

The homestead features stunning ornate ceilings and cornices, picture rails and a tuckpointed fireplace and includes three bedrooms, lounge, formal dining, family room, recently updated blackwood timber kitchen and bathroom, and second separate toilet. A bungalow/studio provides a quiet space for the home office or a fourth bedroom.

On crisp, clear winter days, sunlight streams through the north-facing windows; when it’s overcast gas log heaters generate a cosy atmosphere.

Insulated ceiling, walls, and floors, together with draught-proofing and double-glazing, keep it cosy. And at night, the block-out blinds add an extra layer of protection from encroaching cold.

Solar panels and gas-boosted solar hot water minimise electricity bills; gutter guard keeps the roof clear; and a water tank refreshes the garden.

The rear of the property accommodates a double garage, double carport, twin-bay shed and stable but, with over 3,200m2 to play with, there is still plenty of room to move!
