Welcome to 28 Railway Terrace, Rendelsham, a captivating home where rich local history and thoughtful renovation have created a warm, character-filled property unlike anything else on the market. Perfectly positioned just seven minutes from both Millicent and the coastal beauty of Southend, this unique home offers a wonderful balance of country charm, convenience and the relaxed lifestyle of the Limestone Coast.
Originally home to the Foster family’s very first grocery store, the property holds a special place in the township’s history. Over time the building has evolved, and through careful and extensive renovations by the current owners it has been beautifully revived, preserving its story while enhancing comfort and liveability for modern living.
From the moment you arrive, the charming façade and welcoming front verandah set the tone, the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee while taking in the peaceful rhythm of country life.
Inside, the home reveals a delightful blend of original character and refreshed interiors. At its heart is the original breezeway cottage, where stunning timber floorboards, charming windows and a warm atmosphere create a space that feels instantly inviting. The lounge room centres around a slow combustion fireplace, making it an ideal place to gather with family or relax on cool winter evenings.
Flowing naturally from the lounge is the centrally positioned dining room, forming a welcoming hub for everyday living and entertaining. The fully renovated kitchen sits conveniently alongside, offering excellent storage and workspace while remaining connected to the living areas.
Beyond the dining room, a light-filled sitting room provides a peaceful secondary living space, perfect for reading, relaxing or enjoying the garden outlook.
At the rear of the home, practicality has been well considered. The bathroom features a large bath, separate shower and vanity, while a separate toilet and spacious laundry with linen storage and external access provide everyday convenience.
Toward the front of the home are three generous bedrooms filled with natural light. One includes a built-in robe, while the front room also offers flexibility as an additional living space, home office or guest room.
One of the property’s most fascinating features is the beautifully transformed former general store. Currently utilised as a grand master suite, this impressive space offers an expansive and private retreat with its own access from the front porch. It could easily adapt to a variety of uses including a studio, gallery, home business, salon, gym or even the revival of a small local store (STCA).
Two original store rooms add practicality—one now a spacious butler’s pantry, the other extra storage with porch and garage access. A full-length side verandah offers sheltered outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining.
Outside, the property continues to impress. The original fuel shed has been thoughtfully converted into a charming entertaining area complete with kitchenette and covered deck, perfect for summer evenings with family and friends.
At the rear, character-filled stone sheds provide storage or workshop space, while established gardens with tiered stone beds and mature plantings create a peaceful, private setting.
The generous, fully fenced yard is a paradise for children and pets to play, explore, and let their imaginations run wild. With a charming cubby house, fruitful trees, a spacious chook house, and a thriving vegetable patch, the garden combines endless fun with a touch of sustainable living.
Set across two titles, 28 Railway Terrace (1700m²) and Lot 79 Galway Street (1263m²), the property spans an impressive 2,963m², offering space, privacy and exciting potential for gardens, outdoor living or future possibilities.
Rich in history, full of character and enhanced by thoughtful renovation, 28 Railway Terrace is far more than just a home — it is a property with a story, ready to welcome its next chapter.
