20 High Street

Morpeth NSW 2321

While the exterior may need a little work to bring it back to its best, there's far more to this two-bedroom home than meets the eye with a well-maintained interior that feels cosy and inviting.

Higher ceilings, a subdued colour scheme and large windows add to the sense of space throughout, with hardwood timber flooring providing lovely golden tones that light up the rooms with warmth and texture.

The main living area has been kept light and bright with a predominantly white and beige colour scheme that lets the woodgrain of the flooring, rustic brick surround to the open fireplace and detailed ceilings take centre stage.

A subtle injection of colour on the walls adds depth to the bedrooms, with the brown and grey tones injecting a sense of cosiness while also highlighting their period character by contrasting again the white of the walls above the picture rails and on the ceilings.

Timber sash windows on two walls give each bedroom a dual aspect, while venetian blinds and blockout curtains provide plenty of privacy while also allowing you to control the amount of natural light you let in.

Ceiling fans with light fittings will keep the air moving on those warm summer nights to ensure a restful sleep, while a window-mounted air conditioner in one of the bedrooms is an added bonus for year-round climate control.

Additional wall-mounted air conditioners in the living room and kitchen will keep the rest of this compact home comfortable, while the living space also features a ceiling fan.

The living areas occupy the rear section of this home, with an open plan flow between the kitchen and dining area, and direct access to the adjoining living room, where a large window provides a sense of connection with the semi-enclosed verandah that runs along two-thirds of the home at the rear.

The kitchen is a well-designed and practical space with a bank of underbench and overhead laminate cabinetry on one wall, while the freestanding oven and cooktop is partially recessed inside the former brick fireplace on the opposite wall.

A large window in the dining area lets plenty of natural light into this space, with a lovely view of the flourishing frangipani tree in the backyard, while the semi-enclosed verandah provides the perfect spot for year-round alfresco dining for those who love to entertain.

Set on a fully fenced 584.2sqm block, the property offers plenty of lawn space for children or pets to play without taking up all your spare time on the weekend keeping the garden in check.

The home's low maintenance lifestyle will also ensure you can make the most of its fantastic location, just a short walk from the open spaces and playground at Morpeth Common, and the large nearby sporting fields at Morpeth Oval.

A childcare centre and the local primary school are also within walking distance of this home, making it ideal for young families, while retirees will enjoy all Morpeth has to offer from its gourmet cafes and historic pubs to its cobblestone laneways filled with interesting boutiques, art galleries and specialty stores.

Those who enjoy spending their leisure time on the water can make use of the Queens Wharf boat ramp, while the boutique shopping precincts of Melbourne and Lawes streets in East Maitland and the major retail and entertainment hub of Stockland Green Hills are around 10 minutes away.
