For those looking for an affordable entry into the Blackheath property market then this charming cottage at 82 Hat Hill Road may be the home for you.
Set on a good sized 557M2 level block this home has charm in spades.
The cottage was built in the 1940's but has design cues from the 1920's, which is not unusual as sometimes builders of the time were slow to move with the times as Blackheath was then many hours away from Sydney via a winding and treacherous road.
The original part of the home has all the cues, the tapered window surrounds, the charming hardwood floors, the delicate and patterned high ceilings, it is just lovely.
The two main bedrooms are of a good size and both look out to the front gardens through bay windows.
The lounge room and kitchen area are also generous plus the kitchen has a sweet early Kooka stove in the original fireplace.
I do not know if it works but it may just need a service to get it up and running again.
There is also a gas range for more serious cooking so rest easy, the Kooka is not the main stove!
Off this kitchen area is the bathroom, a good sized bathroom too and even though it was renovated some time ago it is in good condition.
Moving away from the original home and down a short flight of stairs is an extension.
This area has another small bedroom on the same level as the main house and a laundry area between the old house and the extension.
This laundry area also has a second loo, always a bonus and much easier to access if you are in the gardens.
The second lounge area is quite large and has windows and doors that open to a rear deck and the garden beyond.
The potential here is enormous, yes, the extension has been allowed to become run down but the structure is there, the roof is good and there is the snap, crackle and pop of a fireplace to add to the charm.
Have the extension walls insulated and relined and suddenly you have a very nice three bedroom, two living area home within an easy walk to the village centre with covered off street parking.
Add to this an abundance of storage sheds at the rear of the garden and you have the total package!
So come have a look, homes as affordable as this do not appear often in the sought after Blackheath market.
