A country cottage lovingly restored - $500000

Description

It was no surprise to find that the current owner of "Moray" is an interior designer and television stylist. The charming weatherboard cottage (once a small hospital) has been restored by an artist and a perfectionist. The house simply oozes cosiness and country charm, and yet at the same time there is a certain sophistication and eclecticism about it. Every room has been lovingly restored and has its own character and ambience. The stable doors in the kitchen and living rooms are an inspired touch and have a practical application as well, particularly useful for keeping the pet dog in tow. The dining room is a major feature of the house. You will need a large refectory table to take advantage of the space. The french doors off the dining room lead out onto a private courtyard and beyond. Another door opens onto the front verandah making a lovely breezeway in summer. When you step out onto the back porch there is another fantastic surprise. An aromatic cottage garden that meanders down to the back fence and the rear laneway. All the hard work has been done, the result is stunning. This is a cottage that would make a wonderful escape from the hectic life in Sydney. An absolutely perfect holiday retreat. Close to the historic village with it's great coffee shops and restaurants and only a stroll down the hill to the Rhododendron gardens. The miniature pine forest across the road ensures a country feel when sitting on the open verandah.
