2Bed Creekland Cottage by Twodogfolly

This is an old Armidale (mid 1800s) cottage remodel in a farmhouse style. Located on the original rural edge of Armidale, now a downtown site, itis light, airy and spacious. It has two very large bedrooms with open storage, a desk and comfortable chair. The lounge room has a large smart TV and mustard leather couches, a large dining and a covered outside area with a second dining setting. The renovated kitchen includes an induction cooktop, oven, farmhouse sink and a dishwasher.
This cottage was built in the mid 1800s on wooden stumps and bearers cut from local trees. Some of those foundations remain today. Over the last 140 to 160 years, the house has been extended from a rudimentary one bedroom weatherboard cottage into a large brick veneer house. When we had the floor up, we were able to trace some of the many changes and alterations. We have done a full renovation, repairing structural problems and completely revamping the internal specifically to the needs of an Airbnb guest. It has a temperate atmosphere because of its extensive insulation and perfectly designed colouring scheme.
The apartment haas two bedrooms and the bedrooms are huge. Each bedroom has a queen sized bed with a luxury pillow mattress. The storage is wooden open hanging and shelving space with enough room for the well prepared traveller. Each room also includes a desk and upholstered chair, and a comfy lounge recliner with a reading lamp. The curtains are linen with a blackout backing that afford better temperature control and privacy. Some of the old doors have been stripped back and restored as a feature of the country working class origins of the house.
There is a large bathroom with a huge (two people) bath, shower combined. The Bathroom features original style wood panelling finished in a lime wash to add light and elegance to the room. There is a large vanity and modern toilet to compliment. The room is equipped with an automatic exhaust to keep the room fresh, dry and appealing.
The kitchen is fully renovated with modern appliances including induction cook tops, pyrolitic oven, white farmhouse sink and a dish washer. There is ample storage including a whole large cabinet to store guest food and other articles.
There is a large dining and a covered outside area with a second dining setting.
Guests have access to the whole house, although the second bedroom will be locked for singles and couples that book the property and don’t need the room. We charge an extra $30 per night for access to the second room. You can trigger that charge by selecting three guests or we can invoice the extra through pay pal.
We are armidale residents and live five minutes away. However the residence is fully self contained and there is a key safe next to the door to allow easy access and departure.
There is a second key, not on a chain or tag in the key safe which is to be left there in the unlikely event you lose or misplace the keys.
