3 Melbourne Street, Aberdare NSW 2325

Nestled in the peaceful village-like setting of Aberdare, this charming weatherboard cottage offers the best of both worlds - the quiet of yesteryear and the convenience of being just an 800-metre stroll from the heart of Cessnock.

Aberdare is a pocket of timeless character, with its wide streets, generous blocks, and classic streetscape reminiscent of a bygone era. Parcels of land that were 1/4 acre in size, with laneway access and room to breathe between neighbours, were once commonplace - today, they're a rare treasure, becoming fewer by the day.

This weatherboard cottage is an impressive testament to the craftsmanship of an era when homes were truly built to last. Inside, you will find three generously sized bedrooms with high ceilings, creating a wonderful sense of space. The inviting living room, complete with a gas fireplace, flows through to a large kitchen that captures leafy views of the stunning backyard — home to established jacarandas, citrus, and even a mature avocado tree. The bathroom is spacious, with a conveniently separate water closet.

From the front porch, you can sit and soak in the peaceful rural outlook of neighbouring paddocks and bushland, while the rear deck offers a perfect spot to watch the kids play in the vast, sun-drenched yard. It's a home that radiates warmth, comfort, and belonging.

For the practicalities, there's a double-bay shed with electric roller doors and easy access via the rear lane — ideal for tradies, hobbyists, or vehicle storage.

Blocks of this size and location are becoming increasingly scarce, and it's easy to see why they are so sought after. Whether you're searching for a home rich in charm and history, or looking to capitalise on its strong development potential (subject to council approval), this property represents an exceptional opportunity to secure a slice of Aberdare's golden past — and future.
