The home has been smartened up on the outside with muted shades of grey used to create contrast between the faade's brick and cladding construction, while a decorative metal railing on the front steps leading up to the entry porch adds a lovely touch of character.

The character continues inside where plenty of original features have been retained to help this home create an elegant impression, from the beautiful decorative cornices to the timber sash windows and the traditional picture rails.

A fireplace in the living room offers a classic, cosy ambience, with rustic brick surround and turned timber mantle, while reverse-cycle air conditioning is a practical addition for year-round climate control.

The home's previous floor coverings have all been removed and replaced with timber-look floorboards that add a classy cohesiveness that brings warmth and texture into each space.

High ceilings are another feature from a bygone era that has been beautifully maintained to create a sense of space, while original timber accents offer plenty of style.

The home has three good-sized bedrooms, with a built-in wardrobe with mirrored sliding glass doors adding to the convenience of the master suite.

The family bathroom offers an insight into a different era, providing a fantastic opportunity to make your mark on the interior. All the essentials are there to provide the foundation for your renovation, with a combined shower and bath and pedestal hand basin, while the toilet is located separately at the rear of the home with access through the laundry.

The home's compact, low maintenance layout also includes a cosy living room off the front entry hall, with a gorgeous large timber sash window that ensures this room feels bright and inviting with plenty of natural light.

A central dining room adjoining the kitchen is an attractive space to enjoy a family meal, while the kitchen offers all the essentials including a white upright electric oven and cooktop and ample cupboard space, with the opportunity to renovate this area to create a modern focal point.

A second living room is located at the rear of the home with access from the dining area and provides an additional space to relax with family or chill out in peace. This area provides access to the laundry, with a timber door also leading out into the backyard.

With plenty of potential to take this charming cottage to the next level, buyers can also make the most of its prime location, with a 300m walk to Telarah Public School and less than 100m to the local park making it ideal for families with young children.

Downsizers and retirees will also love the convenience it offers, with the social and recreational options of Telarah Bowling Club just 400m away, while Telarah's bustling neighbourhood shopping precinct complete with a local butcher, supermarket, newsagency, chemist and other essentials is also in easy walking distance or just two minutes' drive by car.
