National Trust Cottage - Oatlands Tasmania
National Trust Cottage+Modern Residence+Old Museum Outbuildings
This Old Colonial Georgian Sandstone Cottage c1840’s is conjoined to a modern brick Caretakers Residence. The property boasts a large storage and multiple bay shed, numerous outbuildings all on 2200m2 with additional rear access right of way.
The property was previously owned by the National Trust and operated as a transport and agricultural museum. Since then the Sandstone Cottage has undergone partial restoration works while the Caretakers Residence has provided rental accommodation. It is reputed that the residence is constructed of relocated bricks from an old cottage at Ellesmere, Jericho, while the stone facing at the front of National Trust Cottage remains an excellent example of Oatlands historical masonry workmanship.
The property has been landscaped including extensive plantings, paving, terracing and fencing, although all now in need of further maintenance and restoration.
