Last Listing description (September 2026)

There is something undeniably romantic about a classic weatherboard cottage, and this charming 1940s home captures that feeling beautifully. Full of warmth, character and a gentle nod to its heritage, it offers the perfect blend of old-world appeal and comfortable modern living.

Lovingly retaining the charm of its era, the cottage welcomes you with its traditional weatherboard faade, inviting proportions and a wonderfully homely atmosphere. Beautiful natural light filters throughout, with a prized northerly aspect drawing sunshine and warmth into the home creating a bright, cosy and uplifting space throughout the day.

Inside, the home embraces the simplicity and character of its beginnings while providing the comforts of contemporary living.
