One of Clunes' originals.
This much-loved weatherboard home, the former Bible Christian Minister's residence, is ready for its next chapter. A characteristic early timber residence erected during the rise of prosperity in Clunes, it forms part of a significant precinct within the township.
Three good sized bedrooms and a large 3x3m bathroom boast loads of potential for the astute buyer. The kitchen features the original wood heater and a Parkinson gas upright stove in which many award-winning cakes have been baked for the Clunes Agricultural Show.
Formal dining and lounge rooms connect via a double-sided chimney, and both feature French doors that open onto the east facing veranda. All the fabulous period features are still intact, including lofty ceilings, a dado board lined hallway and timber floors.
Outside, catch the morning sun on the veranda, or entertain family and friends in the stunning loggia. A true cottage garden of winding paths with established fruit and olive trees, seasonal blooms plus a large, grassed area for all to enjoy.
A self-contained bungalow with powder room sleeps three and sundry shedding includes workshop/storage and wood storage. Once featured on the cover of Country Style magazine, this property is ripe for renovation to ensure its proud position for many more years to come.

A well-preserved late 19th-century timber cottage with authentic period features — verandah fretwork, original fireplaces, high ceilings and wide timber boards — that give it clear heritage value. Not an architect‑designed standout in the contemporary sense, but a strong example of vernacular Victorian domestic architecture that would benefit from careful conservation.
