15 Orford Street, Daylesford

High on Cornish Hill and wrapped in beautifully landscaped gardens, this restored c.1887 timber cottage is a rare blend of heritage character, modern luxury and effortless Daylesford living. With three bedrooms, two renovated bathrooms, double-glazed windows on a 1300sqm (approx.) lot, framed by long treetop views, it's a home that feels both tucked away and wonderfully connected to town. Step inside to a warm, character-filled interior where timber floors, high ceilings and period details meet thoughtful contemporary upgrades. The generous open-plan living area centres around a gas log fire and spills onto the north-facing deck - the perfect spot for morning sun or a slow G&T at sunset, a ritual the current owners treasure. At the heart of the home, the original kitchen retains its country charm while flowing into a beautifully updated butler's pantry with stone flooring, modern appliances and abundant storage. Two luxurious marble-finished bathrooms, each with deep spa baths, bring a sense of quiet indulgence inspired by Daylesford's spa-town heritage. Accommodation includes three peaceful bedrooms with garden views.. A dedicated laundry/mudroom, solar and gas hot water, air conditioning, gas heating and a custom climate-controlled wine cellar add comfort and practicality. Outdoors, the home reveals multiple spaces to enjoy the setting: a wide verandah, BBQ terrace, established gardens, garden shed and a curved driveway with off-street parking for two. Only a short walk to Lake Daylesford, the iconic Lake House, Cornish Hill walking tracks, the local playground and the township itself, this is a home where charm, convenience and nature meet. A truly special Daylesford retreat with history in its bones and modern living at its heart.
