Turnkeys Cottage 3 Marlborough Street, PONTVILLE TAS 7030

This is one of the many gorgeous Georgian buildings that Pontville is so well known for. Built in 1880 to house the jailors who oversaw the prison complex (which no longer stands), this house has been beautifully and sympathetically restored. All of the wonderful features of its era have been highlighted including the timber floors, fireplaces and leadlight windows.
It now offers 3 bedrooms; a classic (and extremely stylish) country kitchen with large gas stove and dishwasher; 2 living areas; a separate dining room; beautiful bathroom and the cottage is warmed by a near-new wood heater. A bull-nose veranda wraps around 2 sides of the house and a paved courtyard at the back is ideal for entertaining or just relaxing.
It sits on approx. 488m2 of easy care gardens with a walkway at the back that leads to the bank of the Jordon River and a lovely, private picnic area. Across the road is a reserve on which the gaols once stood and nearby are other lovely period homes. The house is on a one-way street well back from the main road. There is a single garage (water connected) as well as a large storage shed.
Pontville has a great tavern and regular community events while nearby Brighton has Primary Schools as well as many shops and services. Hobart is less than a 30 minute drive away with major shopping centres even closer.
