26 Stanbridge Street, Daylesford.

Behind tall hedges and a lace-trimmed verandah, this quintessential Daylesford cottage feels instantly familiar, like it's been waiting for you all along. Timeless in character and perfectly private, it captures everything that makes country life so appealing. Step inside and the charm continues. High ceilings, timber floors and original fireplaces tell the story of the home's heritage, while sunlight filters through generous windows to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The main living room centres around a classic open fire, while the adjoining sitting room is ideal for quiet reading, conversation or working from home. The kitchen brings rustic beauty and everyday practicality together, timber benchtops, soft green cabinetry and an exposed brick hearth all contributing to its effortless country feel. French doors open directly to the garden, setting the scene for long lunches that stretch into the afternoon. Two comfortable bedrooms, a study and a central bathroom complete the floorplan, along with a generous mudroom, the perfect place to kick off boots and hang up coats after a stroll through the Sunday market. Outside, neat hedges frame a tranquil garden filled with fruit trees, lawns and gravel paths. A barn-style garage adds both charm and function, offering secure parking or a creative workspace. Just moments from Daylesford's cafés, boutiques and Lake Daylesford, this is more than a cottage, it's an escape, a retreat, and a piece of Daylesford's story ready to be your own.
