Chewton 57 Pitman Street
The 'Little Palace' Stone Cottage & Artist's Studio Circa 1850
This heritage status, stone miners' cottage, affectionately known as the 'Little Palace', has been brought back to life as a modern home full of character and charm, on a 1450m2 (0.36 Acre) block in the Goldfields' village of Chewton. Step into the sunroom with views across the front gardens, and then through the front door into the living room with its foot-thick lime-rendered stone walls, painted timber ceilings, terracotta tiled floors and gas fire. There are two bedrooms, stylish bathroom with bath, shower & laundry, and a newly-added kitchen which has kept the style of the original dwelling, with a Jøtul woodstove, and back door to the stonewalled, paved courtyard.
Separate to the house is the 15x3.5m artists' studio with power, there's a garden shed, separate toilet, wicking veggie beds, fruit trees, and circular driveway with an artisan-crafted wrought iron entrance gate. The property has a huge 3kw solar system with 60c feed in tariff (no power bills), town water, town gas, water tanks, external metal roller window shutters, and is set in a quiet corner of Chewton yet close enough to walk to the post office, shop, pub and school, but far enough from the Main Road to enjoy the peaceful country garden and native bird-life. This stunning piece of history is ready for you to move straight in, and make it your own little palace!
