Dual Dwellings with Scope for More…
Welcome to 3 Cobblers Lane, a rare and versatile property in the heart of Riverhead offering not one but two dwellings on a single free hold title - each with its own sense of space, comfort, and independence.
Tucked away at the rear is a charming two-bedroom cottage, originally constructed by Unitech apprentices and carefully relocated to this peaceful site around 15 years ago. With its palisade cladding and single-glazed aluminium joinery, the home carries a relaxed, lived-in character, complemented by modern updates including a new electric hot water cylinder and heat pump installed just two years ago. Step outside onto the sunny, north-facing deck - a welcome addition built in 2020 - where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings wind down with golden light. Currently home to excellent tenants who would love to stay on, this dwelling offers both comfort and stability for the next owner.
At the front of the property sits a modern two-bedroom cabin, built in 2022 and transported to site late last year. Clad in painted zincalume and finished inside with whitewashed ply linings, this dwelling strikes a beautiful balance between style and simplicity. Double-glazed aluminium joinery ensures warmth and quiet, while the gas hob, exterior electric hot water, and a sleek heat pump add modern convenience. The main bedroom enjoys the gentle breeze of a ceiling fan, perfect for those warm summer nights. Outdoors, a north-facing bamboo deck - with a 25-year warranty and freshly oiled after its natural fade - creates an inviting space to relax or entertain. Thoughtful plumbing design means the toilet, laundry, and one deck tap run off the rainwater tank, while a secondary tap on the back wall is connected to the main supply, offering flexibility should the tank run low.
While both homes share a water supply, each has its own power meter, and the system allows for individual shut-offs if needed. Fibre internet is already connected to the rear house, and with only one allowable connection under the current title, you can choose to share the fibre between dwellings or keep the front cabin on wireless - either works well, depending on your needs.
There's also potential to make more of what's here, with land use consent in place for approximately 70 square metres of further site coverage. If more parking is required, a simple adjustment to the fence line between dwellings at tenancy changeover could provide extra space without compromising privacy.
Whether you're looking for a home-plus-income setup, extended family living, or a future-focused investment, 3 Cobblers Lane is a rare find - where two well-designed homes come together in one beautifully connected space. Act fast.
