SO DELIGHTFULLY UNIQUE!

23 Rawson Parade is a long way from being your average 3 bedroom house. If you’re looking for character, the letterbox is the first hint of what’s to come.

‘Cricklewood Cottage’ still has the old floorboards and high ceilings of a 1940s home. But since then, certain creature comforts have been added: ducted central heating; a ceiling fan; indoor plumbing; a gas stove and electric oven; and a two drawer dishwasher.

There are two spacious bedrooms in the main house and a detached third bedroom with ensuite. It could equally be guest accommodation or a work from home office.

Just outside is something the original occupants could never have even imagined: a genuine Italian wood-fired pizza oven.

Further down the yard, there is a brilliantly versatile ‘urban cave’. This could be your office, or studio, a rumpus room, or visitor space. And just a metre or so away is a cubby house that has been cleverly converted into a compact bathroom!

There are a couple of wooden storage sheds, an established garden, two rainwater tanks, a secure chook house, small orchard and veggie patch and a back gate that opens onto the bush beyond.

So, you see, the delightful cosy, character cottage is just half the attraction of the entire property. The added extras make the whole a very attractive package.

All of this within a few minutes drive to Leura village, a well-regarded school and transport.
As well as the popular walking tracks of Mt Hay.

How could you resist?

We were very happy with the service we received from Liberty Real Estate.  Nikki was very professional. friendly and efficient in finding a tenant for our rental property.  We would not hesitate to recommend Liberty as a property manager. Thank Liberty Property Services for making the process so easy.

Alex Thomson and his team at Liberty Property did a superb job helping us with a rental property in Leura. Alex recommended outstanding tradespeople who had the property transformed with great efficiency. Within a week Alex found wonderful tenants who have already asked for a lease extension. Tanya at Liberty guided me through all the paperwork (rates, water and electricity) so all the bills are handled by Liberty. I highly recommend the team at Liberty Property Services.

As a renter I've had an absolute pleasure with the team at Liberty Property Services.  After needing to find a place to rent during lockdown in 2021, they were fantastic.  The other property managers I engaged with at the time were really sub-par doing the bare minimum.  The rental experience itself was also fantastic - if I'm ever looking for another rental in the Blue Mountains in the distant future I'll be back!  And if I have a property needing management I'll be going straight to Liberty.

Marc Fitzpatrick of Liberty Property Services could not have been more professional in his real estate advice and highly successful campaign to find an appropriate buyer for our Katoomba property.  I would highly recommend his and his company's services to anyone interested in an appraisal/ sale of their property.  Marc also has a great reputation for finding appropriate properties for potential buyers.  It was a pleasure to do business with Marc and his company.

I can't say enough about how well Leanne has managed my property for at least 5 years. She is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Most important to me, as a landlord who doesn't live in the local area, her communication has been great - always answering my questions and providing information promptly and respectfully; never hassling but always on top of things. When it came time for me to sell last month, she introduced me to Marc. I can say no less of Marc. I couldn't meet him in person, but I found him to be absolutely professional and approachable, with sound advice and equally great communication. I would not hesitate in recommending Liberty to anyone. 28 Henderson Road  SOLD - June 2021

I have used Liberty Property Services as a tenant, landlord and more recently with the sale of our property.  Leanne was an excellent Property Manager and I would not hesitate to recommend her.  She was always approachable, friendly and highly professional.  She took excellent care of my tenant and also my needs as a landlord.  Anything that came up was dealt with promptly and efficiently.  Nothing was too much trouble.  When it came time to sell, Marc took the time to understand our expectations, create a beautiful marketing campaign and then managed to find us the perfect buyer.  It's always easier to hand over your home when you know it's going to the right person!  Marc and Leanne managed everything for me and I felt complete trust in their care.  I cannot thank them enough for making the experience so easy!
