345 Howick Street, Bathurst
A CHARACTER COTTAGE TO CALL HOME
Affectionately named "Hollyhock" as a nod to the many colourful and beautiful tall flowers that grace it's cottage gardens is this stunning circa 1925 inter-war period residence. Positioned perfectly between Bathurst's town centre and Bathurst Hospital, this three-bedroom home (two bedrooms in the main house and a one-bedroom studio) offers flexible living options.
Original architectural features such as beautifully preserved 10ft decorative ceilings, picture rails and stained glass windows are evident throughout.
Additional property features include:
* Gorgeous cottage gardens that come to life in spring greet your walk to the front door.
* Formal lounge area upon entry which includes a gas log fireplace, timber mantle and reverse cycle split-system A/C. Stained glass french doors open to the generous front portico.
* Main bedroom is enormously spacious and has been fitted with an entire wall of built-in robes. Triple stained-glass windows from the front facade are an eye-catching feature.
* At the heart of the home is an eat-in kitchen with 900mm free-standing stove and gas cooktop, dishwasher, original cabinetry and two pantry cupboards.
* The second bedroom is equally generous in size and also enjoys the perfectly detailed 10 foot ceilings, picture rails and stained glass windows. A recently installed reverse cycle split system AC is also a welcome addition.
* Updated contemporary bathroom features a shower over bath, laundry and a new vanity.
* Sunroom at rear makes an ideal second living area and/or a light-filled home office and provides easy access to the rear deck.
* Elevated entertainment deck provides an amazing view of the established private garden with beautiful shade trees and vegetable plot.
* The garage has been cleverly transformed into studio-style accommodation, complete with power, internet and reverse cycle split-system A/C. As well as a third bedroom option, this space is ideal as an art studio and/or home office with views to the garden.
A bit of history...
The land was granted to liquor distiller Nicholas Read in 1852. It then passed hands through to some well-known historical figures from Bathurst's formative years, including Bathurst postmaster William Thompson and surgeon Thomas Machattie.
The house was built around 1925. The owner at the time was a local plasterer by the name of Cecil Griffin, who clearly used his expertise on the ceilings!
