“Willow Cottage” is a truly delightful, fully renovated, extended and restored homestead set on just over seven acres of prime rural land, only 20 mins (approx.) from Newcastle.

The main residence features three/four bedrooms, two bathrooms, open plan living and dining plus a music room. The 3m wide bull-nose verandah wraps around the front of the home, fringed by lovely grapevines, and the 3m wide rear verandah enjoys the delights of climbing Wisteria. The verandahs are accessed by lovely French doors from virtually every room, and Crimsafe screens to all windows and doors give extra peace of mind

The home has been extended and fully renovated into a country masterpiece. The three bedrooms are large, as is the main bathroom (complete with traditional claw-foot bath). The gourmet kitchen has granite benches, stainless steel appliances, including dishwasher and SMEG convection microwave. The island bench is a great place to gather around or enjoy informal meals at. The handy second bathroom (shower and toilet) is combined with the laundry.

The extension to the rear of the cottage has been done in keeping with the original portion, and the 11′ ceilings and 150mm wide floorboards have been continued through.

There are also gas bottles supplying the gas stove and a bayonet outlet for heating, solar hot water, Enviro Cycle septic system, bore water for irrigation and a total of 28,000 lt. of rainwater holding over three tanks.

There are also horse paddocks and an orchard with various fruit trees including peaches, plums, lemons, oranges, avocados, macadamias and white and black mulberries.
