Legendary musician Ian Moss’ northern beaches home, bought after the iconic band broke up and replete with its own recording studio, has just sold it for a very tidy profit.

Cold Chisel guitarist Ian Moss did some chiselling of his own back in the day under his Freshwater home which he has just sold for a tidy profit.

Moss excavated under his double-brick cottage to create a soundproof studio that he used for pre-production for a lot of music including songs that ended up on his 1989 solo artist album, Matchbook.

Moss wrote the hit Bow River and after the band split in the mid-1980s he continued as a solo artist.

He bought his Freshwater cottage in 1985 after the band broke up paying $139,000 for the three-bedroom home.
