This 1920’s classic cottage started life as the original nurses quarters at Bellingen Hospital. It was lovingly moved to its new position 15 years ago when it enjoyed new wiring, plumbing, piers & more.  With magnificent views to McGrath’s Hump, you’ll love the wide bullnose verandahs and the sensational sunsets.  Offering 4 bedrooms plus study, 2 bathrooms and open plan living/dining/kitchen with beautiful timber windows and French doors, high ceilings and polished timber floors, this is a fantastic family home with gorgeous gardens and paved courtyards that will engage and embrace you.

Mountain Views

Now sitting on an elevated 800 sq m block in a delightfully quiet cul-de-sac, recent work outside has created a lovely paved courtyard space that enhances the property even further.  The low maintenance, mulched gardens mean you can spend your time enjoying your garden instead of just weeding it, and what’s more you can enjoy food from your garden including oranges, lemons, mandarins, cherry guava and blue quandong.  The birds love the garden too, with lots of natives bringing life and colour, such as the red bottlebrush and white banksia.

The warmth and character of this historic home is undeniable as you muse on the stories it could tell of young nurses in residence.  Now offering 3 bedrooms plus a study/rumpus room upstairs, together with open plan living/dining/kitchen and a recently renovated bathroom & separate toilet, it is a very welcoming, family home.  The original double hung, timber sash windows in the living area and throughout the house are a real feature, and combine with polished timber floors  and high ceilings to truly make this house a home.

Downstairs there’s a very versatile space that could be a guest room, teenage retreat or home office with it’s own entrance, ensuite bathroom and direct access to the back courtyard which is another great entertainment area in addition to the wide covered verandahs.  There’s plenty of light both upstairs and down thanks to the abundance of wonderful wooden windows that also provide excellent cross flow ventilation and vivid views.

The current owners of this classic Bellingen home have continued to improve it with things like the new courtyard (already mentioned), new solar hot water system, spacious open pantry, water filter and gorgeous gardens providing privacy and pleasure to all who come here.  If you like the timber window, doors and floors then you’ll also appreciate the varnished timber bench tops and the luxury of space this home enjoys.

There’s off street parking for up to 4 cars (1 covered), and easy access under the house with plenty of space for storage and a workshop.  The newly created paved rear courtyard is a great asset bordered by both established gardens and newly created garden beds just waiting for you to plant your own favourite trees and shrubs to enjoy for years to come.  Plus there’s an upper paved courtyard, with French doors to the main bedroom which is very private with a lovely outlook and plenty of space!
