Werona

Description

One of the oldest houses built in this hidden corner of Blackheath, Werona exudes a homely warmth, which radiates from its period features, lovingly restored and enhanced to meet modern lifestyle requirements.
The original cast iron fireplace, leadlight windows, doors with lots of old brass, heavy curtains and polished floorboards invite to relax and take in the scenery and fresh mountain air.

What makes Werona unique?

Gone are the 'period features' outside toilet, tiny windows, draughty walls and smelly coal burner - replaced by ducted gas and slow combustion heating, a modern gas kitchen with dishwasher, a large period bathroom (retaining the old bath found in the house). Full insulation and large double-glazed windows under awnings keep the house warm and bright in winter and cool in summer.

Families will love the sand pit, full height basketball ring with separate concrete patch, outdoor play equipment and toy box.

Couples will delight in the romantic 'leadlight room' with open fireplace, library and its own TV, as well as the original cast iron bathtub (seats two - at a pinch).

Nature lovers will become friendly with the parrots, native plants and rhododendrons in the backyard, and can find the track heads to beautiful Porters Pass and Fort Rock bushwalks and well-known rock climbing and abseiling areas 2 minutes from the doorstep.

As an added convenience, Werona is only 15 minutes by foot from the railway station and town centre with its cafes, famous bakery and antique shops. A custom-built wheelchair/disabled ramp can be placed at the front entrance on request to avoid steps altogether.

The property has been restored to conform with eco-property standards: fully insulated, thermally efficient solar design, solar hot water, choice of ducted gas or slow combustion wood heating, rainwater tank, composting facility, recycling encouraged. It is a truly liveable period home.

Room layout

The cottage has 3 queen bedrooms and one large bathroom with separate toilet. One of the bedrooms, the 'leadlight room', has its own cast iron fireplace, library and TV.
A recent addition is the north facing open plan kitchen/dining/living area and covered entertainment deck. Keeping in style with the original house, this area is perfect for groups and families.
Tucked under the house is a comfy and private 'granny flat', which sleeps 2. It has sound insulation from the main house and its own bathroom with toilet.
