Blackheath 118 Govetts Leap Road

This unique and gracious Blue Mountains period home called "Boscobel" was first built c.1885 by William Carey. The original Cottage was purchased and significantly enlarged by Reverend Francis Boyce in 1894 to become a country retreat for his family.
A much-loved family home for the last 30 years, this distinct property is now ready for its next chapter. Built in the Victorian style with Queen Anne Revival detail, "Boscobel" comprises a number of living rooms, two dedicated bedrooms, a formal dining room, a spacious eat in kitchen and a small conservatory. The renovated bathroom has a deep claw foot enamelled bathtub. A second shower and WC share the small laundry room.
A private paved courtyard which captures the morning sun is easily accessed from the modern kitchen via double Bi-Fold doors or from the boot room.
Two wide verandah's frame the front and western side of the home, these overlook a well-established period cottage garden. At the rear is a two-storey timber Loft/Studio, with its own kitchenette, shower and WC, perfect for guests.
"Boscobel" has undergone a number of changes over the last 130 years and while retaining many of it's original features, it is now time for a sympathetic restoration.
