Built in 1915, this pretty weatherboard miners cottage on Robert Street has the kind of street appeal that makes you slow down as you drive past. The soft blue cladding, white plantation shutters, ornate screen door and cottage style gardens give it real charm, and once you're inside, the renovation has brought it into the modern century.
The lounge room has high ceilings and the comfort of reverse cycle air conditioning plus ceiling fan. It flows directly into the kitchen, which is the standout room in the house. White cabinetry, a subway tile splashback, 40mm stone benchtops, a farmhouse sink, gas cooktop, SMEG and Platinum appliances, that would appeal to any cook! There's also a useful study just off the entry, fitted with a built-in desk and shelving, practical for anyone working from home or as a homework station.
The master bedroom has its own ensuite, built-in wardrobe and plantation shutters. The two additional bedrooms are both comfortable with fitted, built-in robes. The main bathroom is finished neatly with full tiling, a rain shower head, bath, and a classic white vanity. A laundry with storage and direct yard access completes the interior.
Out back, the yard is green and well kept, with a covered pergola draped in vines, established vegetable gardens, a lawn area and a chicken coop. Good side access runs through to the garage, and the west-facing aspect means afternoon light catches the escarpment views on the horizon.
Warm, full of character and genuinely move-in ready, this cottage suits first home buyers, downsizers or anyone who wants a well-located home with a bit of history behind it. Get in touch to arrange a time to look through.
