29 Wombat Street, Blackheath NSW 2785

This delightful piece of Blackheath history was built circa 1913 - an era when a standard holiday cottage in the upper Blue Mountains meant the cosiness of open fires, deep, shady verandas, high ceilings and the attractiveness of weatherboard. Still charming after all these years, the cottage has had several sympathetic updates over the decades, including a recent bathroom renovation and the addition of a sunny, north facing deck. Though it is gorgeous as it is, a 21st century makeover would really make the property sing. Perhaps re-imagine the floor plan a little - there's plenty of room to extend the living into the long, level back yard (and there's rear lane access), taking advantage of the glorious northern aspect and private, established garden. This is a very special opportunity to cherish a lovely period cottage and garden, within proximity to some of Blackheath's best west-side bushwalks.
