Coramba Cottage feels a century old, yet almost everything you see is new. Working from the footprint of the original home, the cottage underwent a complete rebuild from the floor up, with its original timber flooring carefully refurbished and brought back to life alongside reclaimed hardwood doors, sash windows and heritage-inspired finishes.
VJ detailing, decorative fretwork, mixed metals and period-appropriate switches were deliberately chosen to recreate the warmth and character of an old cottage, while everything behind the scenes has been designed for modern living. The result is a home that carries the charm and soul of its past, without feeling like a reproduction.
Central living room with fireplace and split system air conditioning, featuring a full-width wall of refurbished timber stacker doors that open the entire space to the outdoors.
Open kitchen and dining area thoughtfully designed as one welcoming space, with the dining table incorporated into the kitchen layout, taupe cabinetry offering abundant storage, stone benchtops and splashback, integrated dishwasher and a 900mm freestanding Smeg oven with gas cooktop.
Seamless indoor-outdoor living with a generous sandstone paved courtyard extending from the main living area to a garden alfresco space, beautifully shaded by an established red cedar tree and complete with an outdoor dining area, built-in Ziegler & Brown BBQ, daybed and festoon lighting.
King-sized main bedroom with vaulted ceiling, custom full-height cabinetry and private ensuite featuring subway tiling, VJ panelling, pedestal basin, recessed shaving cabinet and spacious shower.
Two additional queen-sized bedrooms with built-in robes, including a front bedroom with French doors opening directly onto the verandah and a cleverly integrated desk space, ideal for a study or home workspace.
Main bathroom with freestanding clawfoot bath, walk-in shower, checkerboard floor tiles, reclaimed timber vanity with generous drawer storage and an ornate timber archway separating the wet and dry areas.
Dedicated laundry with vintage brass tapware and a handcrafted timber benchtop.
Deep front verandah capturing mountain views and overlooking the front lawn, with an informal sandstone block seating area framed by traditional white picket fencing and established native gardens.
Oversized freestanding double carport with recycled hardwood screening, exterior wall lighting and generous sandstone steps leading to the entrance of the home.
High ceilings and ceiling fans throughout, complemented by beautifully refurbished original timber flooring, VJ wall panelling, an ornate hallway archway, decorative cornices and carefully considered timber trims.
Thoughtfully layered lighting throughout, combining downlights, dimmable wall sconces and pendant lighting to create warmth and atmosphere.
An abundance of natural light through north-facing windows and skylights positioned throughout the hallway and kitchen.
This is the kind of home where the doors stay open and the garden becomes part of the living space. Coffee on the front verandah, afternoons around the outdoor table and cooler evenings by the fire all feel completely natural here. It has the charm and detail people are drawn to in an old cottage, paired with a layout that makes everyday life easy. All just minutes from the heart of Coffs Harbour, with local cafés, schools, shopping and the beautiful Coffs Coast beaches within easy reach.
More than anything, Coramba Cottage is a home that makes you want to slow down, settle in and stay a little longer.
