Description: The Gatehouse, an exquisite double-fronted cottage, is a testament to a bygone era and a genuine part of old Port Fairy. It offers a warm and welcoming ambience with its original wood lining boards, dado walls, high ceilings, and gas log fire. Lovingly maintained, the 2-bedroom cottage combines traditional charm with contemporary conveniences. Built in the early twentieth century, the cottage has undergone recent refurbishments including a new kitchen, bathroom/laundry and WC. The interior features a traditional entrance hall with a spacious bedroom on either side, a well-proportioned living room, and a dining room or second living zone. The rear section has a fully equipped kitchen, a large combined bathroom/laundry and two separate WCs. The rear entrance, now a conservatory, is a delight at any time of the day. Surrounded by an established garden, the property provides both privacy and potential for expansion (STCA). The large, fully fenced and sun-drenched rear garden is secure for children and pets. It features a private lawn area, a separately fenced herb and vegetable garden and a backdrop of well-established trees. There is also a traditional working 'dunny'. Rear car access is available via a side right-of-way (ROW). Located on historic Bank Street in a cluster of classic cottages, its proximity to, but detachment from Port Fairy's shopping and restaurant precincts, is a major bonus. Currently operating as boutique holiday accommodation, it is an ideal investment opportunity. It accommodates up to six people in a queen bedroom and a twin bedroom, with an additional fold-out sofa bed in the dining room.
