Set well back from the street, amongst beautiful mature gardens, the cottage occupies an elevated position on the mostly level block, which affords city views from the rear deck. Access to the home is via the curved driveway which provides dual access from Allestree and Dalry Roads and ensures easy access and ample parking.

Winding pathways of recycled bricks lead you to the original front entrance of the cottage. A large decked verandah affords tree-framed city vistas and is the perfect vantage point to enjoy the private outlook.

Enter the home to the grand original lounge room with feature timber ceiling beams and ornate windows. An impressive stone fireplace takes pride of place in this room and ensures the cottage is kept cosy all winter. Two large bedrooms lead from the main lounge. Both have french doors which lead out to yet another huge verandah with a pretty outlook over the garden and lawn area.

The large family, kitchen and dining area are adjacent to the lounge and have been kept true to the heritage of the home with full height ceilings and matching windows, some of which were recycled from the original kitchen. The kitchen has masses of cupboard and bench space and a large central island which overlooks the family and dining areas.

A small hallway leads to the master bedroom which has pretty views to the garden, a family bathroom and a separate powder room. A doorway provides direct access to the huge undercover deck area shared by the other bedrooms.

Wander out to the gorgeous gardens where one could spend many an hour in the private nooks which have been created by the clever design which incorporates the extensive use of recycled brick to create pathways and elevated garden beds. Beautiful mature trees and lush plantings provide privacy and shade, while a pretty lawn area, granite outcrops and a small orchard complete the picture.

The original garage is nestled to the side of the property away from the main house. It has been fitted out as self contained accommodation complete with kitchen and bathroom and would make the ideal teenagers pad or guest accommodation.

Wander down the infamous Montrose Steps which borders the front of the property to Montrose ave and onto Darlington road, or just sit on the verandah and enjoy the garden and city vistas. With so many other features include a 3.5kW solar unit, biolytics system and garden shed, "Dalry Cottage" is sure to appeal to those seeking character and authentic history in a dress circle Darlington location.
