FEDERATION BEAUTY - HILLINGDON HOUSE

Introducing Hillingdon House! This 1920s railway workers cottage in the heart of Bridgetown has been meticulously restored and extended by its current owners. Over the past 30 years, tirelessly and with love, this family home has been rebuilt from the ground up. The features that this home showcases are a testament to the professional expertise and workmanship of the owners.

Nestled amongst similar era homes, it is an easy 5-10 minute walk to the town centre, schools, retail and community facilities.

Approaching the residence, it has street appeal with established gardens, including the iconic Lady Hillingdon Rose. There is a wonderful balance of formality, playfulness and old-world charm throughout this property. The attention to detail is worth noting with the motifs in stain glass front door echoed in the iron work on the windows, front screen door and verandah balustrade.

Upon entering the home you are greeted with an entry hallway with soaring ceilings flowing through to the far end of the house. There are two bedrooms to the front of the house, both with double aspect windows that maximise the natural light. There is a third bedroom downstairs which is generous in size that would also make a fantastic additional living space, home office or sewing room. French doors lead out to the wide verandah with views across town.

The loungeroom is cosy with a woodfire that is not only functional but features a beautiful mantle. Once again French doors open to an intimate garden courtyard.

The seamless extension of the home has created a modern living space with an open plan kitchen dining. The kitchen is a fantastic space with country style cabinetry, a stainless-steel double sink and walk in pantry. Leading off of this space is the family bathroom which features an enamel claw foot bathtub, a spacious laundry/ mudroom with external access and ample storage cabinetry.

Upstairs a vaulted room, is perfect a fourth bedroom, games/activity room or other uses. As a master bedroom there are approved plans available to incorporate an ensuite in the future. A long bay of white framed windows look out to the garden with a lovely window seat for those lazy afternoons. There is also a Juliete style window balcony.

Underneath the house is a garage, workshop and storage areas, accessed through double opening doors cleverly concealed in the front facade. Stepping out to the garden, the landscaping has been created by an experienced gardener with a fantastic mix of traditional cottage garden plants and natives. The paths around the house and limestone retaining create ease for moving around the property. The backyard is terraced with natural stone.
