Description: 'Hillview' reads like a love letter to the Southern Highlands-an exquisitely reimagined 1920s cottage where colour, garden, and architecture move in harmony. The narrative of the home is one of romance and reinvention: a classic village cottage elevated into a sophisticated retreat, wrapped in a near acre of cool climate gardens that feel both curated and wildly poetic. 'Hillview' stands in the heart of Exeter village, a 1920s cottage transformed with artistic confidence, where every room opens to the garden as though the landscape were part of the architecture itself. The interiors are a celebration of bold colour and thoughtful composition, each space offering a moment of delight-an artistic vision, a play of light, a glimpse of wisteria or hydrangeas beyond the glass. The home flows effortlessly from indoors to out, creating a rhythm that invites both generous entertaining and quiet retreat. Long lunches on the terrace, fireside evenings, morning coffee among the roses-'Hillview' is designed for a life lived beautifully. Set on a spectacular acre of cool climate gardens, the grounds are a tapestry of seasonal drama and gentle romance. Wisteria walks drape in lavender cascades. Drifts of bulbs announce the turning of the seasons. Hydrangeas and roses bloom in painterly sweeps. Water features add a soft soundtrack, while productive vegetable gardens offer abundance for the home cook. Every corner is a vignette, every path an invitation. Despite its sense of seclusion, 'Hillview' is just a five-minute stroll to the Exeter General Store, where the daily grind meets village charm. The train is also conveniently located in the village -and makes for a car-free commute to Sydney. It is a home that balances history with modern artistry, intimacy with openness, and everyday living with moments of pure enchantment. 'Hillview' is not simply a property-it is a place to fall in love with, to inhabit, to savour. A home where romance and history are not themes but lived experiences. -c1920s renovated in 2014 approx -Total of three bedrooms, all of which have ensuites and two have underfloor heating -Primary bedroom is oversized and features a wall of custom joinery, bay window and built in robes.
