Rich in character, history and opportunity, this charming country cottage sits on a generous 1,015m² allotment in the heart of Winchelsea, offering far more than first meets the eye.
Believed to be one of the earlier homes built in the township and held by the same family for many years, the original residence retains an authentic country cottage feel. Largely in its original condition, it presents an exciting blank canvas for those with an appreciation for character homes and a vision to restore something truly special.
Adding another layer of appeal is the separate bungalow, offering flexibility for a range of living arrangements. Whether utilised as guest accommodation, a private retreat, space for extended family or explored as a potential Airbnb or short-term rental income opportunity, the possibilities are exciting, subject to relevant approvals and safety checks. For buyers planning a renovation, the bungalow may also provide a practical temporary living solution while works are undertaken on the main residence, subject to its suitability.
Outside, the property embraces the charm of country living, with established fruit trees, orchard plantings and an array of fruit and vegetable gardens creating a productive and inviting outdoor environment. With plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, the generous allotment offers the opportunity to continue cultivating the gardens or reimagine the space to suit your lifestyle.
Positioned directly behind the property is the local football and netball club reserve, adding to the home's connection with the Winchelsea community. With local shops, amenities and township conveniences within walking distance, this is a location that combines practicality with genuine country-town character.
For those looking to maximise the property's potential, excellent side access and a substantial allotment provide scope to extend, renovate, introduce additional shedding or investigate future redevelopment opportunities, subject to council approval.
Adding to the opportunity, 8 Bennett Street, Winchelsea is also available for purchase, offering another character residence on a generous allotment, complete with a substantial shed/workshop.
Purchase individually or explore the potential of securing both neighbouring properties, an uncommon opportunity to establish something truly unique in the heart of Winchelsea.
Whether you're a passionate renovator, investor, first-home buyer or someone seeking a property with character, space and versatility, 9 Bennett Street presents an opportunity limited only by your imagination.
