Delightful and affordable character cottage
If you’re looking for a neat and delightful permanent home, holiday cottage or a great investment in one of the most beautiful areas in the Great Southern, then this is it! Walpole boasts some of the cleanest air on the planet, surrounded by numerous nature parks with ancient forests, pristine rivers, the Southern Ocean and endless award-winning beaches and tourist attractions.
This original 1977 cottage is situated on an 809 m2 block and has undergone a complete makeover in recent years. It maintained some of its old-world charm and delightful quaintness but now boasts a modern kitchen, a new shower, a fireplace, new ceilings in some of the rooms and the home has been restumped.
The cottage has a typical layout of the 1970’s including a front and back deck. Enter through the front door and an open plan kitchen/dining/lounge is on your right. Immediately behind is bedroom 2 overlooking the gorgeous back garden. To the left of the entrance, you’ll find the main en suite with a shower, toilet and basin while the centre corridor leads to a laundry cum bathroom on the left - with a big bath and extra toilet. Bedroom 3/sleepout is on the right facing the backyard.
Gleaming jarrah floors greet you at the entrance. Immediately on the right is a practical kitchen with quality self-closing drawers, a breakfast bar, a single sink and a freestanding oven/hob. The lounge, with a cosy fireplace in the corner, is spacious and inviting. Large windows throughout the home ensure that all the rooms are always bright and fresh, regardless of the weather.
Behind the lounge is a queen size bedroom with a large window overlooking the back deck and gardens. It doesn’t have any built-in cupboards but there is enough space to add a cupboard if needed whereas the main en suite is spacious with built-in cupboards and a big window overlooking the front deck and yard.
The laundry can be accessed through a sliding door, with ample space for a washing machine and dryer, a wash trough, big bath and a handy second toilet.
The property is fully enclosed, so safe for kids and pets. Side access to the private backyard is through an under-roof carport where you’ll find a small shed, a chook pen and an established, easy-care garden with numerous vege patches.
The home is well positioned, enjoys privacy and is only a 2-minute walk to the Walpole Jetty and Inlet. The Bibbulmun track connection is also only 2 minutes’ walk from this home which means that you can be on the squeaky-clean Coalmine Beach within a 30-minute leisurely walk, only 2.4 km. No need to fight the traffic for an hour to find a quiet spot and crispy cool sea breezes, it’s literally on your doorstep. Here’s your chance to make a positive change for your health and lifestyle without breaking the piggy bank, so make a decision.
It’s rare to find a neat property like this for sale - especially in this price class, so act quickly! You can’t go wrong, whether nesting, resting or investing.

Walpole overview
The townsite of Walpole is located on the south coast, 423 kilometres south southeast of Perth and 66 kilometres west of Denmark. It derives its name from Walpole Inlet, being located on the shore of the inlet. Walpole Inlet takes its name from the river flowing into it discovered by Captain Thomas Bannister in 1831, and named by Governor Stirling after Captain W Walpole with whom he served on the "Warspite" in 1808.
In 1910 the government set aside land in the Walpole area as a national park, and in the following years and in the 1920s the area became a popular tourist destination. In 1929 the railway line reached Nornalup, 13 kilometres east of Walpole, and in 1930 the Nornalup Reserves Board proposed the development of an area for small suburban lots for holiday cottages on Nornalup Inlet. A site was selected for a townsite in 1932 and lots surveyed in 1933. When the townsite was gazetted in 1933 the name Walpole was preferred, but it was named Nornalup, as it was believed the name Walpole had already been used in Tasmania. Confusion soon arose, as the name Nornalup related more to the railway terminus 13 km east on the Frankland River. A number of renaming options were considered before the Post Office confirmed that there wasn't a Walpole in Tasmania, and so in 1934 Nornalup was renamed Walpole.
