188 Hat Hill Road, Blackheath NSW 2785

Named after the main character in the great comic novel 'A House for Mr Biswas' Chez Biswas was the home to the author Roger Milliss and his late partner the fondly remembered literary agent Rose Creswell.
Chez Biswas is a home of unique character and full of surprises.
A home that has for decades played host to many Australian literati in an atmosphere of bohemian creativity, you will either love it as it is or take advantage of the tremendous potential and take the house to the next level.
Upon arrival at Chez Biswas you are initially greeted with a charming original workers cottage of 1880's vintage.
Built to accommodate the hardy folk who laboured in the orchards and dairy farms of the time the two bedroom cottage is totally authentic with an open fireplace and wood fuel stove in the kitchen and an original bathroom.
Moving through to the rear of the cottage a generous hallway opens to a sundrenched north facing deck, the perfect sheltered spot to take winter sun on windy wintry days.
This hallway provides a glassy transition from the original workers cottage to the spacious new extension that was completed twenty years ago and results in a wonderful blending of the old and the new.
Upstairs, this contemporary zone has a roomy bathroom and two large bedrooms that overlook a two storey void into the lower kitchen/dining/living areas.
Each of the bedrooms are flooded with northern light with views over the expanse of the park like rear gardens to the summer house by the pond and beyond.
Take the staircase to the lower level to find a generous sunlit living area that spills out to the rambling rear garden with established trees, and a small summer house set alongside a substantial pond.
The extension has such a wonderful feeling of space and light, the bedrooms have a beautiful feeling of connection with the goings on downstairs. Imagine dozing in the northern sunlight with spirited conversation drifting up from the dining area after a sumptuous Sunday lunch.
Chez Biswas is a property that oozes potential in spades and offers the astute purchaser the scope to create something totally unique. It's all there, move right in and enjoy or create your own special slice of mountains paradise, there's the potential for an Airbnb income stream with the cottage and a spacious residence behind.
Or keep the whole delicious lot to yourself!
