42 Mayfield Street, Cessnock, NSW, 2325, Australia

Set high on the hill in one of the most sought-after addresses in town, this gorgeous cottage is very generously proportioned and nestled in one of the prettiest little gardens in the street. Less than 10 minutes to the vineyards, restaurants, and concert venues of Wine Country, it is currently used as a very profitable Airbnb property but would also make an amazing home for a young family or someone seeking less maintenance.

Comprising a level 442sqm block, three large bedrooms, built-in robes, and reverse cycle air conditioning – the practical boxes are all ticked. Lavender Cottage then provides the additional charm which is why it is so popular with guests. Externally, it's the textured weather boards, bullnose veranda, heritage colours and manicured gardens. Internally, it's the traditional wide hallway, high ceilings, polished floorboards, and a working fireplace, complete with hardwood mantel.

The remainder of the cottage is equally impressive. French doors separate the living and dining rooms and lead to a beautiful timber kitchen, which is not only spacious but features a gas hob and stainless-steel oven and dishwasher The bathroom includes a separate shower and tub, which is handy for bathing the kids or a hot soak at the end of the day. The lock-up garage is substantial at 7m x 5m and the attached carport provides additional shelter for a second car on the paved driveway. Icing on the cake, is the rear timber deck, which is just the place to enjoy a morning tea or coffee whilst catching up on the news.

As a short term stay destination, the earning potential of Lavender Cottage is significant, currently averaging approx. $5k gross per month. However, as a permanent residence, the practicality and personality of Lavender Cottage will prove just as rewarding.
