The Channon NSW 2480

In the very heart of village of The Channon you will find the delightful & iconic 'Magnolia Cottage', so named for the gorgeous and huge Tree Magnolia in the front yard. Planted soon after the cottage was built 112 years ago, the dinner-plate sized white flowers covering it in late summer and early autumn are a well-known attraction in the village. Now featured among winding pathways, mature Camellias and pretty subtropical gardens, it leads the eye to this gorgeous, quaint dwelling brimming with old world character.

Magnolia Cottage has 2 bedrooms and a sleep out, the latter currently an office with porch access but is large enough for a child's bedroom. Both dedicated bedrooms are sizeable, with the lovely big bathroom (complete with claw foot bath) accessible by both the living areas and the main bedroom. The second bedroom has french doors opening to the covered verandah. From the moment you walk in off the (original) screened porch you will be in awe of the ambiance created by a truly inspirational renovation. Every authentic and original feature of the cottage has been saved and renewed, and cleverly intertwined with some more contemporary features for modern living, including the opening of walls to the large living space. The galley kitchen with new cabinetry has an adjoining space for storage or secondary kitchen needs, and is cleverly designed with an open plan access to the living room and a servery to the wide and inviting outdoor entertaining deck. Packed with sensational old-world features from polished teakwood floors to coloured period-glass and the warmth of original timber trims on a neutral palette this beauty will bring a big smile to your face immediately. The federation windows are original, and even the brass lighting hardware is original! The design-feature of this cottage is clearly the glass-doored wall between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

The exterior of this elevated and flood free home is not only a gardeners' delight at the front, but has a private, spacious and inviting yard behind. This area looks out to beautiful country views, and winds down a pathway to a sensational section of the beautiful Terania Creek filled with swimming holes and cascading water. The huge yard is approximately 1500m2 of fun-filled space for kids and pets alike, where they will have plenty of room to be active. A vast portion of this area is planted out with lovely indigenous plant species carefully designed to retain the available views, leaving a moderate amount of almost flat lawn for low maintenance. The lawn is studded with a 100y.o. pecan tree.
