Rarely do weatherboard cottages of such classic proportions come to market in Blackheath.
This gorgeous mountain's weatherboard oozes charm and history in spades, a rare offering of sympathetic updates that add to the fabric of the house without being out of context.
Beautifully proportioned rooms with high ceilings, restrained and elegant colour schemes and original timber and bay windows flood the rooms with soft light all day long.
Polished Kauri floors, elegant soft colours, beautiful rugs and art, the attention to detail abounds in this lovely home.
There are two generous bedrooms, with lovely high ceilings, wainscoting and polished floors complete this lovely home which to be honest, is a place of immense charm.
The bathroom is also in keeping with the feel of this elegant home, with a separate shower recess, an original claw foot bath and free-standing sink, the whole room clad in lovely timber boards which again, is just right.
Such a clever but simple kitchen, set in the heart of the house, modern enough to function well but steeped in history and character elsewhere - there is even an original wood cooker in the fireplace, this space is a joy for the entertainer to create sumptuous delights for the dining table.
The kitchen and dining areas seamlessly link to the roomy covered entertaining area accessed through French doors, linger here in the sun and then move further into the lovely gardens up the gentle stone stairs to the upper area.
Did we mention the gardens? Beautiful clipped box hedges, maples, heritage roses, azaleas, apple trees, plum trees and a veggie garden…plus a cute garden shed right out of a movie set.
Mountains weatherboards as charming and original as this are rare, especially when treated with such respect and understanding to bring out the best of the old and the new.
Come have a look, we know a lot of people will!
