What makes this property unique
This is a pretty unique building located in a 'fetlers' village minutes away from Dubbo. The cottage dates back to late 19th century and has some original features. The living area opens out into the pretty courtyard garden where you can sit and enjoy the serenity of this location. You can also use the bbq. There are outside lights and hurricane candle lamps for you to use. This cottage offers you the opportunity to get away and enjoy what rural life offers. We are not far away and we are both happy to answer ask.
