6 Craven Road Allans Flat, VIC, 3691

Character, Country Air & a Self-Contained Second Home

Set on just under 5 acres in an elevated position that captures the best of the surrounding countryside, this lovely weatherboard home combines timeless character with genuine rural lifestyle appeal – and comes complete with a fascinating piece of local history as its second dwelling.

Wrapped by a timber-decked verandah, the home welcomes you with warmth and charm from the moment you arrive. Inside, timber flooring flows throughout four generously proportioned bedrooms, each with its own working fireplace for cosy winter nights. The full family bathroom is a standout, featuring a classic clawfoot bath, separate shower, vanity and toilet.

The cottage kitchen retains its original chimney feature, adding character and a genuine sense of history to the heart of the home. The lounge room is made for relaxed living, offering both a slow combustion fireplace and a reverse cycle split system for comfort in every season. A practical laundry with second toilet facilities completes the internal footprint.

A home with a story of its own - Tucked on the property is a truly unique second dwelling – the original Allans Flat Primary School library, thoughtfully repurposed into a self-contained granny flat.
