Mrs Gatenby's Repose - Circa 1850
Bothwell  - Tasmania

Mrs Gatenby's repose is a charming colonial cottage built in a redbrick checkerboard pattern, a distinctive feature of Bothwell brick cottages. Built about 1850, it also has a brick stable.

The garden has a huge poplar and ancient pear tree which enhance the peaceful and gracious ambience of the property. At the front there is a sheltered verandah. The kitchen, in addition to the usual layout, has dado walls and features a colonial oven (with provision for a fire above and below it) and the stairs rise from it.

All downstairs rooms have original fireplaces with cedar mantle pieces, including the bathroom which leads off the main bedroom. A cosy sitting room has games, books and a t.v. A wood heater has recently been installed. Two attic bedrooms with angled ceilings also have some small furnishings and toys for children.
