With its history dating back to 1890, Carrington House beautifully balances ornate Victorian details with modern comforts—including central heating and cooling, two gorgeous bathrooms and a dedicated workspace. Soak up the small town's local vibe, follow walking tracks through to Mount Sugarloaf, get out on the water at Lake Macquarie and swim in Newcastle’s glistening beaches, all within easy reach. Come home to cook up a feast on the BBQ, dine alfresco in the sun, or cosy up around fire pit.
Arriving at this character-filled cottage, you’ll be greeted by a classic picket fence and lush gardens reminiscent of a storybook. You’ll instantly feel a sense of calm, thanks to its peaceful rural setting, while still being less than a 30-minute drive to the nature trails, Lake Macquarie and the region's sun-kissed beaches.
Stepping inside, you’ll be captivated by its blend of ornate and modern finishes. The property features high ceilings, decorative fireplaces and stained-glass windows to create a haven of original style. Get comfortable in the living room with your favourite book and share a meal around the large timber dining table. You’ll have plenty of choice when it comes to catering, be it the large country kitchen or BBQ out the back. A fenced backyard provides ample room for the kids to play, while the adults sip on wine around the fire pit under the stars.
Sleep easy in four beautifully appointed bedrooms. Three come with queen-sized beds, while the fourth is ideal for children, with a combination bunk bed. Each of the two bathrooms are a luxurious space to refresh, fitted with heated flooring and gold-toned hardware. The first bathroom offers a beautiful bath with shower overhead, while the second bathroom comes with a walk-in rain shower. You’ll also enjoy the convenience of laundry facilities including a washing machine and dryer.
Parking is available for 3+ vehicles on the driveway.
