Remarkable Historic Property

Located just a minutes' walk to the centre of historic Richmond village is 4 Franklin Street, Richmond, a truly remarkable Georgian property that has been very well preserved in its original state combining history with comfort. Having two separate dwellings the uniqueness and versatility of the property provides you with endless opportunities for its use.

The Georgian home, National Trust listed as the Prince of Wales Hotel, was built of convict bricks in c1855 and the original part of the house was constructed c1825 of rammed earth. It comprises four bedrooms, each with their own private bathroom, a formal living area, a formal dining area and a large kitchen. Throughout, there are high ceilings, original fireplaces and character features, solid brick walls and Australian cedar windows, doors and skirting boards, with original flooring, melding to create a beautiful historic home. Outside there is a large private sandstone paved courtyard.

The second dwelling has a distinctive Georgian look but was in fact constructed in 2005. The accommodation comprises a main bedroom and bathroom located upstairs with a skylight allowing natural lighting and featuring large oak beams, oak panelling and dormer windows. Downstairs there is a second bedroom with in-roof storage, a kitchen, open plan dining and living area and a reception/foyer entry to the house with a powder room.

Externally the grounds are immaculate with a beautiful garden that has previously been used to host weddings. There is an abundance of space for parking inclusive of a double garage that has remote controlled roller doors and workshop. There is also a carport and plenty of off street parking. There is dual access granted from either side of the property and within the property is secure, private and peaceful.

Formerly the property operated as a bed and breakfast 'Mrs Curries Bed and Breakfast' and although it is no longer in operation, there is an opportunity to re-establish as a bed and breakfast (STCA) with very little effort required due to everything already being in place.

It is an approximately 30 minutes' drive into Hobart's CBD.

The property boasts a tremendous amount of history, and if only the walls could talk...
