Freo Bungalow: Historic four bed cottage on 637sqm

Set back from the road surrounded by Eucalypts, the architecture of this four bedroom character home is reminiscent of an interwar period bungalow. The 637sqm block is zoned R30, with two street frontages on Ashburton Terrace and Wray Avenue. This desirable location is just three minutes' drive to the South Terrace café strip or into Fremantle.

Built in the 1930's, the heritage listed single storey weatherboard workers cottage in the city ward retains many period features including high ceilings, jarrah timber flooring, stained glass and ceiling roses which create a home filled with character and warmth. Enter via a timber decked verandah where you can sit and watch the passers-by on Wray Ave. Inside, the layout is typical of the era. A short hallway leads past two large bedrooms which peel off either side, followed by a further two bedrooms. The spacious main bedroom features decorative cornices and a fireplace with an attractive jarrah mantle.

The living room also features a decorative fireplace flanked by convenient built in storage and elegant half wall jarrah panelling. High vaulted ceiling in the kitchen and dining area, and a wall of timber framed windows and glass doors fill the space with natural light. The kitchen offers timber cabinetry and benchtops as well as gas cooking and adjoins a neat bathroom with a combined bath-shower.

The kitchen opens out to a well sized rear patio which creates a lovely indoor-outdoor flow. Planting out the garden here would really enhance this space for alfresco dining or entertaining. There is also another smaller pergola off the living room to the side of the home.

This historic workers cottage has been a part of Fremantle's streetscape for nearly a century. Zoned R30, there are exciting prospects for the next chapter in the life of this home. Take a short stroll up the road for a pub meal at the Wray Hotel, or grab a coffee from nearby Café on Hampton. Head down Wray Avenue to Galati & Sons, Franks Gourmet Meats and Lawley's Bakery for your fresh produce. And Fremantle Primary School, White Gum Valley Primary School and Beaconsfield Primary School are all in close proximity less than 1km away.
