Campbells Creek 55 Main Road
Powell's Cottage, Circa 1853, with Studio and 1 Acre Garden Setting
Rebuilt and restored to its original gold rush origins, Powell's is nestled on a green and private 1 acre allotment.
Powell's prefabricated house has had a colourful history. Shipped to Australia during the Gold Rush era and reputed to have once been the Copenhagen Hotel, this property really is a one off. A sympathetic addition was added in the mid 1990s and the cottage now offers 3 bedrooms, large lounge, sunroom, galley style kitchen, walk in larder, bathroom and laundry. Rustic timbers, iron and pressed metal feature throughout the cottage, there are timber and flagstone paved floors, splendid open fire places, Nectre wood heater, casement windows, Early Matters gas cooker, timber bench tops and claw foot bath. A long private driveway leads to the tucked away cottage with north facing courtyard, and the grounds feature many shady trees and established plantings. Shedding comprises an iron and timber studio with carport, and the cottage is fully fenced for the family pet. Permanent living, weekender accommodation or potential land development (STCA), Powell's is a charming, character cottage steeped in local history and must be seen to be appreciated.
