2 Bell Street, Blackheath, NSW 2785

Set on a beautifully established 968sqm corner parcel, Silver Mist is an enchanting, spacious and modernised transformation of a 1920s cottage, where original character has been thoughtfully preserved, restored, re-imagined and enhanced. High ceilings, bay windows with built-in seating, timber dados, wide-board flooring and consistent period detailing, together with soft palette of colours, create a warm and timeless atmosphere throughout the home.

The original four-room cottage and verandah have been developed to provide generous, comfortable and flexible accommodation. Beyond the front bedrooms, kitchen and separate dining room, a light-filled North-East facing sitting room opens to an outdoor patio, while a conservatory, with glass roof and floor to roof windows, creates a delightful connection with the gardens to the rear of the house. An additional attached living area, featuring French parquetry flooring and comprising a bedroom, study and beautifully appointed ensuite, provides excellent separation for guests and extended family or for working from home. A freestanding garden studio, constructed using historic bricks transported from Sydney, adds further character and versatility.

The remodelled kitchen features a Bosch induction cooktop alongside a traditional Stanley wood-fired cooker. An Osburn combustion fireplace warms the rear sitting room, complemented by solar power with battery storage and 16 rooftop panels. Practical features include extensive integrated storage, screened windows and doors, a carport with secure equipment storage and existing underfloor ducting that would allow for the reconnection of gas heating.

The magnificent, carefully designed gardens include a series of box-hedged rooms, connected by gravel or brick-paved pathways and sweeping established borders. Mature birches, maples, magnolias, flowering cherries, dogwoods, crab apples and other deciduous trees create spectacular seasonal displays. The trees are complemented by plantings of hedge borders of camellias, pieris and climbing roses and by beds of rhododendrons, clematises, hydrangeas, azaleas, roses and abundant spring bulbs, such as daffodils, snowdrops and bluebells.

Positioned in a prime location of Blackheath, close to the village and near to the natural beauties of Pope's Glen, Govetts Leap and the Grose Valley, Silver Mist presents a rare opportunity to secure a home of history, individuality and enduring Blue Mountains charm.
