Other Details to Note

Upstairs can get quite hot in the summer months, there is a reverse cycle air conditioner with a special wall exhaust fan and small cut out to help move the cold air between the bedrooms. All bedrooms have ceiling fans. Being double brick downstairs tends to stay cool and has fans and heaters. The Cottage Ada is almost 150 years old, the house has some original features and is not recently renovated. It has been freshly painted outside and in. There are signs of age and quirkiness throughout the property which are reflected in the price, however we pride ourselves on providing a clean property with quality furniture, linen and kitchenware. The Cottage has a 'Minut' noise monitoring system which monitors noise levels inside the house. The monitor does not record conversations it only measuring the decibels and alerts us if noise levels are unusually high.

Accessibility

Neighborhood

Cooks Hill is situated just south of the Newcastle central business district and is known for its vibrant atmosphere and popular residential and commercial areas. Cooks Hill was established in the mid-19th century and has a rich historical background. The suburb’s name is derived from an Aboriginal phrase, “kukkaburra,” meaning “camping ground.” It was originally a working-class area with a mix of residential and industrial activities. Over the years, Cooks Hill has evolved into a highly sought-after suburb with a mix of architectural styles, ranging from charming cottages to modern townhouses and apartments. The suburb is known for its tree-lined streets, heritage-listed buildings, and a lively café and dining scene. It is also a short walk to Bar Beach and coastal walks.

Guest access

There is parking for one car in the carport which is accessed via the back lane. Height limit is 193cm and is best suited to small - medium sized cars as the laneway can be tight for large vehicles. Free street parking can be found in the surrounding streets for any extra cars.
