Built circa 1860’s, ‘Bellmount Cottage’ was formerly a Cobb & Co stage coach point, steeped in history and charm. Originally built by the Wells family the original slab cottage has been lovingly restored using recycled materials and presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a slice of history and a home that offers beautiful Australian Colonial features. Pressed tin ceilings, timber slab walls and panelling, exposed beams, cedar sash windows and cyprus pine floors bring to life the history of this significant property. Previously two separate cottages the current owners have extended and joined the two cottages to create a substantial four bedroom, ensuite residence with separate study and three living areas.
