Once in a while something completely unique presents itself to the market. With a charming design and immaculate presentation, this lovingly restored home offers all the flavours of yesteryear, with a floor plan that is very workable for todays contemporary living.
You will soon appreciate that, while you are close to all conveniences such as shops and schools, the F3 and trains to Sydney and Newcastle, even the school bus, it feels as though your home life has been transported to another world. This cottage enjoys the essence of a peaceful rural lifestyle at its best, surrounded as it is by specimen trees and a wealth of birdlife, and unlike many houses on acreage, it has an incredible sense of bringing the outdoors in. From the extensive use of large pane windows in the lounge and dining room that perfectly frame the lily-pond to the fully enclosed rear terrace, the flow of natural light, views and breezes allow you to sit comfortably inside or out and relish the entire property to the boundaries and beyond.
The focal point of the home is the formal lounge room featuring the original hardwood timber floors and ceiling beams. This room, with its slow combustion stove, is part of the original timber-cutters cottage dating back over 100 years, and is one of the most impressive elements of the home. The enclosed terrace with its own slow combustion fire is also a very special feature. It offers the versatility of a covered outdoor area and gives a transitional flow from the lounge through to the expansive patio that basks in northern sunlight with an intimate view of the Watagan foothills, perfect for all-year round entertaining.
Inside the main building are three double bedrooms, two including ensuites. There is a full bathroom as well as an expansive study or separate living area. The kitchen has been tastefully renovated with Caesarstone bench tops, European fittings, and a 900 wide stainless steel oven.
For further privacy or a fourth bedroom, tucked away from the main residence is a self-contained studio, perfect for guest accommodation or a granny-flat, with the potential to be utilised as a much-needed local B & B if so desired.
