Overview

Bielsdown Cottage Dorrigo - Riverside Parkland Setting 300m to town

18 Bielsdown Street is a charming freestanding cottage on 1,506m² (approximately) in a peaceful Dorrigo pocket, just 300 metres to the CBD/post office. With a wonderfully northerly sunny aspect it backs onto and adjoins lush parklands with the Bielsdown River flowing through. Set behind an east-facing front garden, the garden path opens to a covered verandah front while the rear north-west aspect overlooks the pretty Bielsdown River and its walkway, framed by palms, tree ferns and established trees. Expansive lawns and a traditional rotary clothes line complete the country cottage dream. The property holds Council DA approval for two houses, and recent LEP changes permit subdivision into three blocks, subject to Council approval (buyers should make their own enquiries). Inside, a sunlit lounge centres on an open fireplace with a classic timber mantel, alongside a light-filled dining area overlooking the front garden. A glass-lined study, sunroom or sleep out with a bank of four casement windows gazes over the river walkway making a serene study or reading nook. The kitchen faces north where ducks wander up from the river. Picture rails, period light fittings and timber floors preserve true cottage character. There are two bedrooms with leafy outlooks, a bathroom with bathtub, two separate toilets and wash basin and a laundry with its own shower. A separate garage at the front retains original timber floors, and suits a car or a range of flexible uses and a classic garden shed adjoins it. Generous storage sits beneath the house. Life here is filled with birdsong. Trout season is open and fishing is possible in the Bielsdown River which tumbles over nearby Dangar Falls. Dorrigo National Park's rainforest walks are close by, Bellingen village lies just down the mountain from the plateau and Ebor, Platypus Flat and a string of waterfalls await along the Waterfall Way. This little river cottage on the NSW Mid North Coast is ready for its next chapter. Call for further information. Agents' Interest. Inspect by appointment. 0414 363 370
