Storybook Cottage-surrounded by expansive gardens

Perched up high on an enormous block, this divine 2 level, 2-bedroom, 1 bathroom property oozes character and charm. Stroll up the Tuscan gravelled driveway to be greeted by the wonderful weeping cherry tree and landscaped gardens.

Upon entering the home, you will be hit with a feeling of warmth and space thanks to the large windows on all sides that allow the natural light to effortlessly fill each room. Featuring a large stone fire place with timber mantel piece being an incredible feature of the living room. Downstairs also has a queen size bedroom, gallery kitchen, beautifully renovated bathroom and French doors that open directly to the sun-drenched paved entertainer’s patio. This property may prove challenging for guests with mobility issues with a stair case leading to the 2nd level.

Upstairs you enter directly into the master bedroom with stunning cathedral timber ceilings, exposed beams, and fantastic floor to ceiling windows on each wall and BIR. This private upstairs retreat makes this storybook cottage the perfect dream home.

Surrounded by gardens in the most beautiful location Storybook cottage really is like your own little Daylesford Fairy-tale.

Stunning gardens

We loved the house, but the gardens absolutely blew us away, so lovely to be outside amongst the garden beds and mature trees. That goes for the whole of Daylesford too, such awesome planning has gone into the beautification of the town.

Cosy Charming Cottage

Sweet, cosy and comfortable... this cottage was a lovely quiet spot for a weekend away. With an open fire and being well heated, even cold, wet and windy weather didn't detract from the lovely stay in this charming little cottage. Thank you!

Cosy space, but very cold in winter

This house was a perfect space for our little gateway. Incredibly clean, tidy and cosy. One of the downsides is that it was freezing cold, even with a heater running the whole day, it was quite uncomfortable. Another minus is that the fireplace isn't operational... A massive no-no for our future stay in Daylesford in wintertime. Otherwise, it is a wonderful space and we really enjoyed the stay!
