12 Grose Street, Blackheath, NSW 2785

For those who have a taste for the good life and are looking for a home that has been meticulously renovated, Brackenwood Cottage may be perfect for you, and while this home may not a sprawling country mansion, for those who like to live well and live with a sustainable footprint this exquisite cottage may be just the ticket.

Set back from the street, the cottage sits lightly in the gardens, which were designed and installed by Justin Hungerford, a well known and sought after upper mountains landscape designer.

The trees are the standouts here, this garden has some of the best cool climate trees I have seen in a long time, all rudely healthy and providing that terrific feeling of being in a secret forest, lovely and shady and cool in summer and creating the lush micro-climate that nourishes the plantings below.

These plantings include garden beds edged with Box Hedging that sharpen and define the spaces which are filled with a lovely display of seasonal plantings that provide an all year round display of colour and delightful surprises.

This garden has such a mountains feel with winding paths, a secret garden and a sweet white picket fence, but at 608M2 its also small enough to be easily managed without being a chore.

As Brackenwood Cottage was to be a forever home for the vendors the renovations have been extensive, and expensive with incredible attention to detail and quality materials.

The style is timeless, decorated in the classic French/Canadian style, the interiors sing with highlights of red, brass, bronze and coffee tones with wallpaper, fabric and light fittings sourced from London, Paris and Quebec resulting in an incredible feeling of style, calm and warmth.

Large sash windows in the kitchen/dining/living areas bring those gorgeous gardens indoors, open them all in warmer months and the home is flooded with the sweet smells from the gardens.

And lets be honest, who doesn't like the sounds of birdsong drifting through the home as you doze off after a long lunch with friends and family?

There are Jarrah hardwood floors and sparkling chandeliers, the custom hand painted kitchen has solid Jarrah benchtops, Smeg induction cooking, an Ilve oven and a concealed Miele dishwasher too.

There is also ample storage, a roomy pantry and a large traditional butlers sink.

Bliss!!

The bathroom is a temple to detail as well with rustic farmhouse cabinetry, a rain shower, a gorgeous free-standing bath and a stunning and very intricate hand cut Carrara marble floor.

The laundry is concealed behind lightweight sliding doors featuring a wash tub, storage shelf, and ample room for a washing machine and a dryer.

The bedrooms are carpeted with light toned wool blend carpet with a premium underlay for added softness. Ceiling roses surround classic light fittings with large built in wardrobes housing 8 drawers and additional shelving for extra storage.

Brackenwood Cottage is a bespoke gem, for the discerning purchaser a life of compact luxury awaits and as we all know, quality is appreciated long after the price is forgotten!
