Rarely does an opportunity arise to purchase a mountain cottage estate as charming and perfect as this. Located in one of Blackheath's premier streets and just a short walk to town, this beautiful 19th Century timber weatherboard is in immaculate condition, having been lovingly maintained and cared for throughout its genteel existence.
Through the whole house the best of both worlds mix, combining classic, traditional and period features with all the luxury of modern touches. The new paint job inside and out in fresh, gentle colours, glorious, honey-coloured kauri and hoop pine floors, extensive north facing windows and traditional high ceilings all add to this home's appealing style, charm and comfort.
But it is the details: ceiling roses, claw foot bath, rain-showerhead, tassel-pull light fittings, leadlight feature windows, timber lined walls and ceilings, walk in pantry, deep bull nosed veranda, convict brick steps, hydronic heating, the Bega wood-fired oven ? that make this cottage truly special.
The home has two bedrooms and one study (or third single bedroom), two with floor to ceiling built in wardrobes, and all with French-door access to the veranda or garden. There is also a cosy, bright, north-facing lounge, a separate dining room with a lovely gas log fire (with the original timber mantle and surround) and a gorgeous country kitchen with the original wood plus an electric oven.
The garden is just under a third of an acre and is a delightful private landscape of sundrenched terraces, undercover BBQ, cubby, winding pathways, garden 'rooms' and mature trees (under planted with a cool climate mix of deciduous and evergreen plants that looks good even in the depth of winter).
An airy, bright, warm studio with loft, kitchenette and bathroom sits nestled on the property. In addition, there is a huge garage with triple access and a wall of windows that would be suitable for a multitude of uses. A functional but beautiful driveway transects the property and has triple access from laneway and street.
All in all this property offers the perfect mountains lifestyle you've always dreamed of.
