This remarkable home has seen generations of the one family come and go since it was built in the early 1800s. It is a snapshot of that era with very little change apart from modern conveniences like electricity (it has been rewired including a new meter board in recent years). The house now offers a wonderful opportunity for someone to restore it to its former charm and beauty. It now sits on approx. 2 acres of land with street frontage on 2 sides so there is also an option to subdivide (STCA).
The main house has three large bedrooms; a lounge (parlour) with open fireplace; a formal dining room (also with an open fireplace); and a kitchen which has a slow combustion stove as well as a modern electric version. Wide, timber floorboards are evident throughout the house and it looks to have the original linoleum in some of the rooms.
Close to the house is a timber building set up as a sleep-out with two more bedrooms that was built to accommodate some of the many children raised here. Another building is divided up into another sleep-out bedroom; a store room (once the dairy); the bathroom; the laundry; and the toilet. Other outbuildings were once used as the local cobblers workshop and blacksmiths shop.
This property is located on the edge of the beautiful village and is walking distance to Lake Dulverton. Oatlands offers an excellent, 24hr Medical Centre; an IGA Supermarket; a District School; cafes etc.; and a wonderful community with many clubs and groups. It is just over an hours drive to Hobart.
