House description
“'Holly Cottage'”
Perfectly positioned on a wonderful level acre against a rural backdrop, 'Holly Cottage' will capture your heart from the moment you step through the picket fence gate.
As one of the first dwellings to be built in Bundanoon, this historical 19th Century cottage holds many a story between its solid 450mm thick sandstone walls. Extended and partially renovated over the years, the original part of the home retains period features including high ceilings, wide skirting boards, and vintage coal fire hearths. The front two bedrooms have been replastered and painted in luminous white, with the original floorboards intact underneath new charcoal grey carpets.
The master bedroom has a wall of built in robes and original floorboards but has been left unrenovated, as has the sitting room/library. This cosy room has an open fireplace with a timber mantle-piece and does require restoration.
The Western Red Cedar extension and sandstone paved entertaining area is thought to have been added after the 1970s, and houses the full timber kitchen, generous bathroom with a large corner bath, separate shower and walk through laundry area. With banks of windows along the western and northern walls, the lovely light filled living/dining room enjoys views to the orchard and gardens. Featuring 'The Darby', an antique but super-efficient slow combustion stove on a slate hearth against the backdrop of the timeless sandstone wall, this room also has access via French doors to the entertaining area and utility/storage room.
A haven of space and potential, the lovely acre boasts an old growth orchard including Lemon, Cherry, Apple, Pear, Plum and Peach trees, and established ornamentals such as Japanese Maples, Silver Birch, Monterey Pine and Cotoneaster.
The separate tandem garage and workshop/storeroom has an enclosed dog run behind, and is in need of repair.
Located approx 1.6km from the village centre and in a rural setting (RU4 Primary Production Small Lots), this is a unique opportunity to secure a significant part of local history. With sensitive renovations and extensions this home has enormous potential to create a very special and valuable property.
