Holmville Cottage is a charming home set on a generous 1,263 sqm block in the highly sought-after suburb of Rutherford. With a wide street frontage, excellent side access, and a peaceful reserve at the rear, this property offers both privacy and potential - ideal for those looking to expand or add a large shed.

Only minutes from local schools, Rutherford Marketplace, and with easy access to Maitland, Newcastle, and the Hunter Valley Wine Country, this home combines lifestyle and convenience.

Built in 1841 by Bourn Russell, a bold British-Australian mariner, the home was crafted using solid sandstone and timber taken from his own Hunter River steamer.

The lounge room is cosy and welcoming, ideal for everyday living or entertaining friends. At the rear of the home, a separate, light-filled dining and sitting area features ceiling fans, air conditioning, and peaceful views over the reserve, offering both comfort and privacy.

The kitchen is filled with natural light, offering garden views, a gas cooktop, and generous bench space. An adjoining utility room leads to a private courtyard and could be transformed into a walk-through pantry or extra storage.

There are three generously sized bedrooms each consisting of ceiling fans, one of which was previously the formal sitting room and still includes its original fireplace.

The tidy and well-maintained bathroom features a relaxing spa bath, a separate shower, and a toilet for added convenience. The internal laundry also includes an additional toilet, making it a practical space for family living.

The home is also connected to natural gas, ensuring energy-efficient heating and cooking.

Outdoors, the property includes three carports and a single lock-up garage with internal access. The beautifully established gardens are home to mature fruiting trees, including a Seville Orange, Pinenut, and a magnificent Moreton Bay fig, grown from seed in 1840.

This property is a rare find, combining classic charm with modern comfort in a convenient location. It has been owned by the same family for over 110 years.
