Overview

This distinctive historic property, known as ‘The Convent’, offers a unique blend of rich heritage and practical modern living on a substantial 2,194sqm allotment in the village of O'Connell. Originally built circa 1867, the residence preserves its 19th-century charm with striking Gothic-style windows and polished timber floors, infusing the home with character that is rarely found in contemporary developments.

The interiors are thoughtfully adapted for comfortable family life and guest accommodation, making this both a residence and a potential investment opportunity currently operating as a thriving Airbnb. The open-plan living and dining area is enhanced by a fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the country-style kitchen offers electric cooking, a dishwasher, and ample bench and storage space, facilitating easy meal preparation and entertaining.

Four spacious bedrooms provide flexibility and comfort, including a main bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an ensuite, supported by a second bathroom that caters well to family needs or guests. Set amidst established gardens, the outdoor areas offer a picturesque setting with ample space to relax and enjoy the rural village environment. Off-street parking for two vehicles adds daily convenience.

Adding to the property's unique appeal is the historic Catholic cemetery associated with its past, reflecting its origins as a convent, boarding house, and post office. This residence will attract buyers seeking a character-filled home that integrates heritage and modern amenities, ideal for those who appreciate period architecture and a tranquil village lifestyle, with easy access to nearby regional centers Bathurst and Oberon.
