7 North Street

Thirlmere NSW 2572

The newer addition was designed in the English Country Style with outward opening casement windows and walls using the old Camden kilns bricks.
The L-shaped orientation of this residence to the north - east provides a suntrap and protection from the prevailing westerly winds. Being of solid brick construction and with high ceilings the whole house provides excellent thermal insulation from summer heat. Open casements enable easterly coastal breezes to cool the building quickly in the evenings in summer.
The floor in the kitchen is heated with Pyrotenax cables embedded below the paving slates which in winter provide comfortable and cosy living conditions.

Step back in time once a month when the historic Thirlmere Steam Train travels past the estate on the dedicated historic railway loop, carrying friendly patrons waving to the kids and dogs lined up on the fence. The kids are guaranteed a 'toot toot' from the train driver sporting the traditional train driver's cap.
Positioned in a great area with quality homes surrounding, the location of the property cannot be faulted. Thirlmere is a popular and fast growing township renowned for its main tourism attraction, the steam train museum. Only 5 minutes to Picton, easy access to the freeway, and only 40 minutes to Wollongong's beaches. Change your lifestyle today!
