Properties like Branxton’s Lemon Tree Cottage are truly rare. Featuring the unique combination of classic picture rails, high skirting boards, bespoke cornicing and completely refurbished original doors and windows, it also boasts the highly desirable bonus of a slew of brand-new features. As part of a complete back to frame renovation, the upgrades are extensive including new bathrooms, kitchen, flooring, Hardiplank cladding, Colorbond roof, built in robes, ducted air conditioning, full insulation and all fixtures and fittings. This complete transformation of a charming weatherboard cottage has not been lived in since the renovation, so it is all yours to christen.
