Delightful Quirky Holiday Cottage
This delightful circa 1935 cottage has retained the charm and character of its original age whilst later improvements of a sunroom have connected outbuildings to form a quirky mix of indoor/outdoor spaces that provide a feeling of peace and tranquility that will delight holidaymakers. Comprising 3 bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen, a bathroom, large sunroom/entertainment area that connects to the third bedroom and bunk room this organic layout is perfect for holidays. Also, there is a near new double Colorbond garage to store the toys. The property would make an excellent Airbnb holiday accommodation rental as it has loads of room for cars, boats and space for kids to play. Located opposite two parks at either end of the property on a 2008sqm block with 3 street frontages the future looks even brighter. Subdivision potential couldn't be made easier, given the 3 street frontages and the positioning of the cottage at one end of the property.

Augusta overview
The most south westerly town in the state, Augusta was named by Gov. Sir James Stirling in May 1830. Until 2003 it was thought the name honoured Princess Augusta Sophia, second daughter of King George III and Queen Charlotte. In 2003 the book "James Stirling - Admiral and Founding Governor of Western Australia" a letter by James Turner is referred to which states "a town is purposed to be built named Augusta, County of Sussex, in compliment to the Duke". Princess Augusta Sophia died unmarried, and the "Duke" is most likely the Duke of Sussex, Augustus Frederick (Hanover), the 6th son of George III. He married Lady Augusta Murray in 1793, but the marriage was deemed a violation of the Royal Marriage Act, and was declared null and void in 1794. Lady Augusta Murray is most likely the person after whom Augusta is named.
