18 Newmarket Street, Beaconsfield WA 6162

Tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, on the doorstep of South Fremantle and neighbouring Clontarf Hill Reserve, this enchanting character cottage offers a wonderful sense of escape, without sacrificing the lifestyle that makes this location so desirable.

With South Beach, neighbourhood cafés, restaurants and bars just minutes away, you'll enjoy all the attractions of South Fremantle while benefiting from a Beaconsfield address.

Steeped in history and brimming with personality, this charming timber-framed cottage was originally a blacksmith's workshop, where horseshoes were forged for the local stables and racecourse. Today, it is a welcoming home where original character, natural light and relaxed indoor-outdoor living come together beautifully.

Step inside and discover soaring decorative ceilings, sash windows and rich jarrah floorboards that speak to the home's heritage. A central hallway leads to a cosy living room, where an open fireplace invites you to settle in on cooler evenings.

Beyond, the dining area connects effortlessly with the modern kitchen, complete with a freestanding gas cooker, dishwasher and lovely views across the cottage gardens. French doors open onto the rear verandah, creating an inviting place for alfresco dining, morning coffee or simply enjoying the garden and watching children and pets play on the lawn.

Two generously proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, with the main bedroom featuring built-in robes and reverse-cycle air conditioning, while the second includes a ceiling fan. The central bathroom retains its character with blue tiling, traditional-style tapware, a basin and toilet.

What makes this property particularly appealing is the flexibility offered beyond the main residence. A separate studio with a sink provides an ideal space to work from home, pursue creative interests or enjoy a little independence from the household. An additional powered retreat, beautifully lined in warm pine, offers another peaceful sanctuary, perfect for yoga, meditation, art or simply a quiet place to unwind.

A separate laundry incorporates a second shower and toilet, adding practicality to the home's versatile layout.

Outside, the gardens are wonderfully relaxed and established, with a collection of fruiting and ornamental trees including lemon, curry leaf, jacaranda and loquat. There's room to potter, entertain or simply enjoy the greenery, while the lawn provides a lovely space for children and pets.

At the front of the home, the wide verandah captures glimpses of the ocean and beautiful evening sunsets - a delightful place to sit back and appreciate the coastal setting.

Positioned on a 469sqm survey-strata lot with no common property or strata fees, the home also offers off-street parking for two vehicles, a garden shed, solar panels and solar hot water.

With Clontarf Hill Reserve close by for nature walks, South Beach for morning swims and South Fremantle's vibrant café and dining scene within easy reach, this is a location that encourages you to slow down and enjoy everything on your doorstep.

A home with history, heart and a lifestyle to fall in love with.
