In 1828 the first surveys of what would become the historic township of Westbury were marked and Dexter’s cottage was built. At this time Lieutenant Governor George Arthur ordered the laying out of the village. Anticipating that Westbury would flourish and expand, provision was made for 126 miles of streets and roads. He named Westbury on the 5th of July 1828. Lieutenant H. Dexter then arrived and was placed in charge of what was initially the newly formed convict settlement. Dexter’s cottage became the Lieutenant's home and so the history of Westbury began.

Still adorning many of the original cottage features the character and ambience is abundant. The home features three bedrooms and one living room or two bedrooms and two living areas, depending on your preference. Over decades past the home has been extended. At the back of the original cottage is a kitchen and dining room with large walk in pantry, bathroom and laundry.

A standout feature of this property is that it’s on two separate titles. The cottage sits on a title comprising 1012m2. The corner block also comprises 1012m2 and has the addition of an old garage. The vacant lot presents an opportunity for development (STCA) in a much sought after area, just a stones throw from the historic village green and all the wonderful businesses and services the township of Westbury offers its residents.

With land becoming so scarce in the township this is an opportunity for a savvy investor to secure an amazing project or alternatively would suit those looking for a home with character on a big block. Call today to arrange an inspection.
