'Sunset Cottage'
The sun sets in the West sending an orange glow through the living area of this very special mountain cottage. Situated at the end of a very long driveway, this property is nestled well back from the street and features magnificent, ever changing escarpment views to the Megalong Valley. Built of 'sandstone look blocks offering the ultimate insulation, the cottage has a garden dotted with azaleas, rhododendrons, maples, camellias and loads of spring bulbs. As the name suggests, the sunny living room faces west and offers a great view of the sunsets over the cliffs, has a pressed metal ornate ceiling (9ft) and opens onto the wrap around front veranda. There are timber floors, timber windows, raked ceilings in the bedrooms and the home is warmed by natural gas central heating and a cosy combustion wood fire. There are three bedrooms - one of which has French doors onto the veranda - two bathrooms and the country kitchen features timber bench-tops, a dual fuel Smeg free-standing cooker, a pantry and a lovely ceramic sink. The 4009sqm grounds are easy care bushland, there is a lock up garage with barn doors and a garden shed for storage. 'Sunset Cottage' is a very comfortable, character home with an English/Irish 'feel' located in a peacefully quiet area with lots of privacy.
