Built c.1870, most probably as a miner's cottage during the years when Callington's Bremer Mine was operating as one of Australia's first successful copper mines, this stuccoed stone home has truly stood the test of time.
Attractively nestling amongst other similar character cottages, it still boasts many of its historic adornments, yet is able to provide a very cosy and comfortable modern lifestyle.
As the saying goes.... you can always build a new home but it's impossible to build an old one
Hence, if you're looking for a truly aged' home with the wonderful patina created by the use of 7 previous generations, then perhaps here is your chance.
Here you can see and feel the past. There are thick stone walls, the odd quirky angle, 6 inch Baltic-pine flooring, colonial paned sash windows, patterned pressed- tin ceilings, an old wood stove, an open fireplace, a wide central hallway and bull-nosed verandahs.
The home has 2 big bedrooms, a large study, a country-style farmhouse kitchen (with dishwasher) and a more formal sitting room.
Outside, a shady pergola stretches across the rear of the home and overlooks a delightful cottage garden with plenty of room for a vegie patch, a chook-run or kids to play.
The block of around 990m2 is level. Additional improvements include a large brick/stone/iron workshop and garage.
It is located only a minute from the Freeway which provides easy access to Mt Barker and Murray Bridge. Callington is only around a 30 minute freeway drive from the Toll-gate.
