This delightful cottage is the best of both town and country. Only 900m from the centre of the city & a 2 minute walk to Armidale Secondary College, its 2023sqm block is pure New England countryside, with mature trees dappling the northern light, and blue-brick paving winding from vine-covered back deck to cubby house and a powered shed. The back half of this huge block is a blend of open space and native trees along with a large stone fire pit, perfect for backyard camping. Inside, soft blue shiplapped walls and original 1890s hardwood floors lead from a stained-glass front door through to a gorgeous open plan family area with floor to ceiling glass and cedar walls. The newly refurbished kitchen boasts a double farmhouse sink and pressed metal-style tiling, as well as a huge 900m gas stove and electric oven. With four bedrooms, a study (or 5th bedroom) & 2 bathrooms there is plentiful room for a family inside and out. Most importantly, the entire house is warm through the Armidale winters, with highly efficient floor-ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning in every room
