67 Govetts Leap Road, Blackheath NSW 2785

The early days in Blackheath would have been tough, a cool climate and isolation from Sydney meant the locals had to fend for themselves. As a result there were several small coal mines in the Blackheath area run by the Blackheath Coal Company which ran from 1885-1897. Coal was the main heating in the area for many decades. There is just a handful of small cottages built to house these miners and 67 Govetts Leap Road is one of them! Typically these homes were a simple rectangle with a front door to the left resulting in a long corridor running past two bedrooms to the living area at the rear. And here it is, exactly as described above but the big plus is that all the renovation work has been done, so now you can have all the charm plus the modern conveniences. This home is so sweet with a sunroom at the front, then two bedrooms off the corridor and the kitchen/ bathroom/laundry at the rear which then flows to the dining area and French doors that open to the centre courtyard. The courtyard itself has an under cover outdoor dining area and off to the western side is a full size bath, yes, you heard me correctly, a bath, and this bath is fully plumbed, so hot and cold water and a drain, just like an inside bath but outside! How brilliant will this be on a cold mid winters night, fully submerged in frothy bubbles with your head poking out and the elements unleashing around you. Full drama and insanely good. This courtyard is also fenced, with a small grassed area and a lovely spreading deciduous tree, so… shady in summer and sunny in winter when you need it most. The rear fence of this courtyard has a gate which will take you through to a very nice studio. This studio is a versatile space, currently utilised as an art studio it has double glazing and a full bathroom too. Getting back to the cottage, the original internal lining boards are all there, as are the cute sash windows and the whole house has been modernised where you need it, fresh wiring, fresh kitchen and bathroom and French doors to the rear garden. Did I mention the location? How does a short 4 minute stroll to the village centre sound? Park the car for the weekend, wander up to the wine bar, a hatted restaurant, the pub or grab the wicker basket and head to the farmers markets on a Sunday! This is your opportunity to really live the village life!
