23 Shipley Road, Blackheath NSW 2785

The older parts of Blackheath in the upper Blue Mountains are usually characterised by smaller residential blocks, especially when you get closer to the village centre, a large block, this close to the village is a rare find!
This much loved holiday home of 35 years has the desirable close to town location but with a lovely semi-rural feel afforded by the generous 3680M2 block and its distant outlooks over Frog Hollow.
Overlooking all this bucolic bliss is 23 Shipley Road.

Originally built early last century this miners cottage has charm in spades.
The original cottage has two front rooms, one a small lounge room and the other being the main bedroom.
These rooms have all the charming features of the era, like large sash windows, wide wooden boards and an original open fireplace with a magnificent mantle constructed from rough hewn logs, no doubt from a locally felled tree.
Moving through from these front rooms you step into the kitchen with the bathroom to the left and a cosy dining area to the right.
The kitchen overlooks a spacious addition that opens through French doors to the wrap around deck.
Being North facing this large lower room soaks up the glorious winter sun all day long from early in the morning right through until sunset.
Of course, in summer the sun is high and this room then transforms into a leafy shady haven from the summer heat.
Off this room on the western side of the home is the second bedroom.

This property is lovely and has a really good feel. Yes, it will need some renovation but the big advantage here is that the layout is good, and the structure is solid.
So a person with energy and vision could easily transform this home from already being lovely into something stunning!
