Discreetly nestled in the heart of the renowned Gibbston wine region, Ryecroft Cottage is a beautifully restored stone residence offering timeless character and modern convenience in equal measure.
Originally constructed in the 1800’s, with extensive remodelling in early 2000’s this cottage has been thoughtfully extended to preserve its authentic appeal, schist stonework and polished timber flooring. The sympathetic design ensures the home retains its historic integrity while providing contemporary living comforts.
Inside, a well-appointed open-plan kitchen and dining area serve as the heart of the home, featuring quality timber double glazing, ample storage, and efficient heating including a traditional open fireplace that enhances the cottage’s warm, inviting atmosphere. There is also electric underfloor heating throughout the concrete zones.
The property comprises four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the spacious master suite enjoying an en-suite bathroom, private office, and sitting area that opens directly onto the garden. A generous guest bedroom connects to a sheltered internal courtyard, perfect for quiet relaxation.
A separate triple sized detached garage includes an attached studio, ideal for creative pursuits, a home office, or guest accommodation.
The established grounds and gardens are meticulously landscaped yet easy to maintain, featuring a variety of mature fruit and nut trees, manicured lawns, and classic rose and hedge plantings. Several sheltered outdoor living areas provide the perfect setting for entertaining or unwinding in this idyllic retreat.
Immaculately presented, Ryecroft Cottage offers all the romance of a bygone era, harmoniously blended with the comforts of modern living.
Viewing is available by private appointment - a very rare opportunity not to be missed.
