Maintained by the same family for 100 years, this beautiful period home has been carefully maintained and includes so many of its original features. Built on a 632 m2 parcel, this home retains the original external boards, and iron roof for traditional street appeal, but adds modern updates such as new gutters connected to rainwater tanks to ensure the gardens remain green.
Upon entry, the 12 feet high, timber lined ceilings immediately catch the eye. Original archways with cedar trims, wide skirting boards, original cedar doors, door hardware and hand painted trims on the original wall lining boards add further charm. The three large bedrooms continue the period theme and retain the original linings, trims, and doors. However, the standout of the home is no doubt the living room which keeps the original brick fireplace and timber mantle.
The kitchen and bathroom are both lined in pine VJ boards and add character to the home. Recycled hardwood from an old danceflooris used on the kitchen counter and is sealed in a high gloss estapol which highlights the stained-glass window. Adding functionality to the character is split system air-conditioning to keep the home comfortable year-round.
The outdoor entertaining area is a delight with recycled brick paving, a tiled bbq area and water feature made from a cast iron fireplace. Original sheds feature to the rear of the yard which is framed on either side by established Jacarandas, Marayas, Geisha Girls, Agave, and Iris. The mature trees give shade to the lush buffalo lawn making the outdoor area perfect for relaxing and entertaining.
Clark-Will House is treasure that will only become more unique and valuable as time goes on. Don’t miss this opportunity to secure one of Cessnock’s beautiful cottages still retaining many of its original features.
