A cottage and garden so enchanting, prepare to fall in love!
This delightful worker's cottage, built in the early 1930s, has been been lovingly renovated and extended, whilst still retaining all of its original charm and character. High ceilings, Baltic pine floorboards, picture rails and cedar doors with decorative lintels, all lend a simple period elegance to this lovely home. Set on the high side of the street with a serene view over Pope's Glen, the front veranda, sunroom entrance way and bay window seat in the main bedroom are the perfect spots to soak in the wonderful outlook over treetops. With two bedrooms downstairs, there is also an enchanting retreat tucked away on the second floor, accessed via a romantic spiral staircase. Versatile, light and cosy, it has a gabled ceiling living area and quiet meditation room, perfect as a quiet work/creative space. Throughout the home, sunshine is captured through double-glazed windows and light pours through skylights. Although petite in footprint, the home feels welcoming and generous, the open living/dining/kitchen flowing to a back terrace and with light streaming in through glass doors and windows. There are ample nooks and crannies for books and art, delightful places to retreat to, to read, to paint, to create, to cook.
The gently sloping, sunny garden is a pure delight - bushrock walls and a circular lawn framed by cottage garden beds, dotted mature deciduous specimens - creating lots of gorgeous quiet spaces to relax amongst the greenery.
