Built circa 1876, Woodbine Cottage is one of the earliest examples of the original gold rush cottages of Blackwood. Rarely does a cottage with this history come to market.

Elevated on a generous 3869sqm, this pretty as a picture cottage has been lovingly updated and extended to provide comfortable country living. Behind the picket fence and charming front verandah, are three bedrooms, central bathroom, and European style laundry. The handcrafted Blackwood timber kitchen featuring a dual drawer dishwasher, all electric cooking and additional cabinetry opens to the living and dining areas complete with wood burning fire and storybook windows.

The rear of the house features the perfect entertainer's deck providing spectacular views across the treetops and the expansive rear parkland garden.
Adjoining the Cottage is the newly built Woodbine Lodge a fully self-contained studio currently used as a short term / holiday accommodation but could easily become a work from home office or family retreat.

Beautifully presented it has a spacious bedroom, kitchenette and ensuite bathroom, rear deck and separate entrance and parking.
The defining feature of this property though is its delightful garden setting. Surrounded by terraced cottage gardens it features romantic roses, a mix of heritage ornamentals and native shrubs, a citrus grove and fruit orchard with fruit bearing trees as well as a copse of majestic silver birch.
