Iconic 'Barton Cottage' resides on Hampden Road, the heart of Battery Point's café and restaurant strip that features well-established venues for a variety of styles & tastes. A pleasant stroll down to bustling Salamanca Square and Hobart's premier waterfront entertainment precinct, including Salamanca Markets every Saturday, is within the palm of your hand while living in this premium-placed property. Providing the opportunity to extravagantly entertain your guests in the spacious lounge rooms, before dining beneath the skylight or opening the French doors on a balmy night and taking the party outside, where the spacious red-brick courtyard makes the 'Coach House' the centre of attention. Separately metered, this is perfect for short-term accommodation or stay-over guests.
Previously Australia's oldest registered Bed & Breakfast having been built in 1839, the interior has undergone precise renovation to lovingly restore character features and revitalise the property for private family living. Two of the previous bedrooms downstairs have been remodelled, as extra living spaces or study. Every sash window has been professionally reconditioned and sealed providing that extra level of comfort and improved insulation. The entire home has recently been repainted to perfection. The bathrooms and the kitchen have been fully renovated with the kitchen featuring premium appliances and beautiful stone benches. Upstairs there is 3 double bedrooms all with luxurious en-suites, affording the family members their ultimate convenience and privacy. There's a fire-escape to access the courtyard downstairs, accessing the bike-rack purposefully utilised for efficient manoeuvrability around town, shopping trips or getting to and from work or school via the side-gate access.
A lot of care has gone into revitalising the charming features and unique family living this historic property has to offer, and being no more than 20 years away from its 200th birthday, it looks and feels like it wants to live for another 200 years. Gorgeous high ceilings adorned with roses lit up by ornamental chandeliers, lush woollen carpet withstanding the test of time beneath your feet, and old-world floorboards standing strong. We invite you to fall in love with 'Barton Cottage' and all its wonderfully kept attributes of an age gone by pieced together with the modern amenities afforded to a luxurious and comfortable living for yourself and the family.
