This is a very old Armidale (1850s) cottage remodel in a modern country chic style. Located on the original rural edge of Armidale, now a downtown site, it is light, airy and spacious, with an extra large bedroom with open storage, a desk and comfortable chair. The lounge room has a large 4K Smart TV and a comfy couch and chair. There is a large dining table and an outside area with some easy chairs. The renovated kitchen has an induction cook top, microwave oven / grill, sink and a dishwasher.
This house was built in the 1850s on wooden stumps and bearers cut from local trees. Some of those foundations remain today. Over the last 140 to 160 years, the house has been extended from a rudimentary one bedroom weatherboard cottage into a large brick veneer house. When we had the floor up, we were able to trace some of the many changes and alterations. We have done a full renovation, repairing structural problems and completely revamping the internal specifically to the needs of a guest. It has a temperate atmosphere because of its extensive insulation and perfectly designed colouring scheme.
The bedroom is huge. It has a queen sized bed with a luxury pillow mattress. The storage is wooden open hanging and shelving space with enough room for the well prepared traveller. The room also includes a desk and upholstered chair, and a comfy lounge recliner with a reading lamp. The curtains are linen with a blackout backing that afford better temperature control and privacy.
There is an en suite style bathroom with a shower, vanity and modern toilet to compliment. The room is equipped with an exhaust to keep the room fresh dry and appealing.
The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances including induction cook tops, microwave oven with convection grill, sink and a dish washer. There is ample storage including a large shelf to store guest food and other articles.
There is a large dining and a covered outside area with a retro wooden lounge chairs.
Guests have access to the whole house.
We are armidale residents and live five minutes away. However the residence is fully self contained and there is a key safe next to the door to allow easy access and departure.
There is a second key, not on a chain or tag in the key safe which is to be left there in the unlikely event you lose or misplace the keys.
The Studio has been installed with High speed (25 megabit) optical fibre NBN internet services. The Smart TV allows you to access many screen services and we include a complimentary Netflix account already installed on the device. There is a large, shady back yard with a clothesline.
For longer term stays we can offer a mid stay cleaning service that includes floors, dusting, bathrooms and a change of linen for the same price as our normal cleaning. Please let us know if you require this service and we will schedule it.
The property has been divided into two spacious and luxurious apartments. Every effort has been made to provide a private and unique experience with no inadvertent interaction. Common walls have been completely sound and fire proofed so there are no privacy concerns. There is separate parking in the front driveway for each residence.
