Mittagong NSW 2575

Built in the mid-1800s, this charming cottage is one of the original homesteads in Mittagong and has been sympathetically restored and extended to enhance its heritage charm while providing the creature comforts of the 21 st Century. The cottage sits in a prime location, just a stone's throw from Lake Alexandra and an easy walk to cafes, schools and shops. While the home is reaped in history and bears an important connection to the original families and businesses of the area, it is not heritage listed, giving the new owners the scope to make the home their own.

A secret garden oasis of mature trees, camelias, and flowering bulbs line the paths leading to the homestead. The garden features a cubby house, shed, outdoor pizza oven and 100-year-old wisteria overhanging the pergola.

The master bedroom features a walk-in robe and access to an additional storage room, while the two guest bedrooms are spacious and have views overlooking the garden. The living room, dining room and kitchen centre around an original stone fireplace. The kitchen has a large freestanding Belling double oven with gas cooktop, a walk-in pantry as well as an antique island bench with Carrara marble top.
