Tallong NSW 2579

Standing strong since 1912, this gorgeous old cottage has been thoughtfully and painstakingly revived to take pride of place in the village of Tallong. Originally the School Master's residence, the property has changed hands many times over its 120 years, but remarkably has maintained many of the original timbers and features. From the classic double fronted weatherboard faade and wrap around verandah, to the wide entry hallway, 10ft ceilings, original -and exceptionally well maintained - timber lining boards throughout, open fireplace (not in use), wide skirtings, double hung timber sash windows.... There is plenty here to evoke a nostalgic longing for a time when life was simpler and slower.
The wide entry hallway has two good sized bedrooms off either side, both with large windows to the beautiful front gardens. The enormous living room room has a super efficient slow combustion fireplace, original solid timber doors with antique knobs, and a beautiful leadlight panelled second door to the mudroom behind the kitchen.
Simple and functional, the formica kitchen is complemented by a new Stanley wood stove plus an upright electric oven and cooktop. French doors open out to the side verandah, and a fabulous original retro sideboard offers clever storage and adds yet another element of yesteryear.
