The good news about this property just keeps coming, from the
charming Victorian Miners Cottage exterior, all the way to the large workshop discreetly placed at the rear of the block.

The original rooms of this old world gem are as you would expect: full of period features and decorated to enhance their charm. The first surprise is the brand new all-white ensuite recently added to the master bedroom. The second surprise is the stunning, light-filled, crisp black and white kitchen with its bright eating booth, double-glazed skylights and modern inserts in the old brick stove alcove. The third surprise is the glorious black and slate bathroom where you can admire the fernery while relaxing in the extra long bath. The fourth surprise is an unexpected extension the inviting family living area that looks directly into the garden.

Outside, the property rolls out more delights. The garden entertainment room boasts a sauna, a spa pool (hot in the winter, cool in the summer!), a bar and sitting area and a brick BBQ just outside the double opening doors. Stroll further up the block and sit under the century old Oak tree for some tranquil time out.
As if this werent value enough, you find a generous, multi-purpose workshop with concrete floor, power and roller door at the very back of the block, out of sight from the house, large enough for the most ambitious DIYer, home business, animal lover, or heaven sent for those with plenty to store.

The last, and by no means the least of the surprises, is the size of the block half an acre, zoned Residential One, with the existing home well placed to allow for easy access and development to the rear (STCA).

Who would ever guess, standing at the front of this lovely old Victorian, the features and the value it holds in store just full of surprises!

Romsey is an up-and-coming inner rural town with excellent road access to the airport and Melbourne, and a bus link to the V/Line train.
