A single cabernet vine is the only remaining evidence that "White Cottage" resides on land that once belonged to the original Darlington Winery. It serves as a testament to the rich history of this gorgeous character residence which is believed to have been built circa 1905 as one of the original pioneer cottages.

A recycled brick and white picket fence at the front of the home ensures "White Cottage" enjoys perfect privacy from the quiet road. Follow the pathway which meanders through the lush and shady front garden to the cottage.

A verandah spans the front of this weatherboard beauty and is the perfect spot from which to enjoy the pretty outlook. Enter the home to a long entrance hallway which has high ceilings and eye-catching black and white tiling. A formal lounge to the right of the entrance has a beautiful feature fireplace and large picture windows which fill the room with natural light and afford serene vistas out to the gardens.

Wander though to the formal dining room where the black and white theme is picked up in a feature fireplace with black and white tiled hearth. Pretty lead light panels and white washed shutters partially partition this room from the kitchen allowing the cook a degree of privacy whilst entertaining.

The kitchen is positioned between the formal dining room and a delightful conservatory, which is the perfect spot in which to dine on less formal occasions. It is large in size and is complete with dishwasher and electric cooktop.

The master bedroom is accessed by a private hallway to the left of the dining room. This room also enjoys a lovely outlook over the front verandah to the gardens and is spacious and light. It has a bank of built in robes and a large ensuite complete with bathtub. A second bedroom is also accessed from the dining room and has an ensuite bathroom, built in robes and adjacent dressing area.

The family room is located at the rear of the home and has pretty feature windows and an outlook to the private rear al fresco area. Two smaller rooms adjoining this area would make the perfect third bedroom with separate dressing room or study.

Wander outside and prepare to be captivated by the pretty gardens which have a variety of sitting nooks and entertaining areas to suit any season or occasion. A gorgeous stand alone studio, which has been cleverly constructed to mirror the character of the original cottage, would be the perfect space for those that work from home, or perhaps as extra accommodation for a lucky teenager or guest.

At the top of the garden is a large level area which would be the ideal spot to add a good-sized shed should it be required. With the option of gaining direct access from Orange Road (STCA) this area provides the option for extra garaging or parking should it be desired. Raised vegetable beds, and romantic garden "rooms" complete this very pretty outdoor landscape.

Located in one Darlington's most sought after locations, "White Cottage" is as pretty as it is rare. Sure to appeal to those that love character, this romantic home offers an idyllic Hills lifestyle in a premier location.
