This beautifully restored one-bedroom early colonial shepherds cottage has all the amenities for a simple country living or the romantic weekender in the historical Tasmanian Midlands village of Ross.

Acquired by the current owner in 2015 and currently utilized as a writer retreat/weekender, this property is an ideal option for the short-stay accommodation market (STCA). The current owner has lovingly renovated the cottage from a pile of sandstone to a considered, heritage escape which offers the following:
- One-bedroom open plan floor plan with open fireplace.
- Period inspired kitchenette with gas hotplates
- Exposed original timber trusses.
- Limewash paintwork throughout the cottage.
- Vertical timber washroom with bath/shower combo and laundry.
- Sheltered courtyard features sandstone walls and picture windows; to view the country surroundings. The sandstone walls offer nesting boxes for birds and bees.
- Timber lined undercover patio for quietly relaxing with a cuppa tea or entertaining guest.
- Two car open carport.
- Lock-up garden/storage shed.

Set upon a deep 1210 sqm fully fenced block (agricultural cyclone fence). A small but established garden surrounds the cottage, but plenty of scope to develop for the green thumb.

Within a short five-minute walk of the Church Street precinct of Ross is 19 Park Street. Steeped in a history of convict past, Ross attracts tourists and locals who are keen to explore the historical sandstone architecture of the Ross Bridge, Man 'O' Ross Hotel and surrounding buildings. Many visitors and locals walk along the banks of the Macquarie River, take in the clear country air or cast a line to catch some trout. Ross has a collection of artisan stores that supports the general store/services station and post office. Ross is only a short ten-minute drive north to Campbell Town (11km) or a leisurely 50 minutes' drive from Launceston and one hour and 20 minutes to Hobart and bus service stops in the township daily.
