Cottage Elegance Surrounded by Whimsical Gardens
Set behind a leafy garden and winding path, this 1940s character cottage blends timeless charm with modern practicality. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a versatile study on a generous 626m² block (approx.), it’s a home that delivers warmth, flexibility, and a lifestyle ready to enjoy.
A welcoming front porch with glimpses of the hills sets the tone, while polished timber floors, ceiling roses, and a cosy fireplace anchor the home’s heritage appeal. The living spaces are warm and inviting, with split system air conditioning for year-round comfort.
The kitchen and dining area combines classic styling with practical updates, featuring crisp white cabinetry, timber benchtops, tiled splashback, and downlights.
Both bedrooms enjoy timber floors, mirrored wardrobes, and ceiling fans, with the main bedroom elevated by a ceiling rose. A neatly styled bathroom with blue tiled flooring and glass shower completes the main wing.
Flexibility flows through the additional study with French doors opening to the outdoors, while a second bathroom cleverly integrated with the laundry introduces stone benchtops, sleek cabinetry, and a stylish black-and-white palette.
Outdoors, a vine-draped pergola shades the paved alfresco, overlooking a neat lawn and established gardens. A well fit out shed, single car garage, and gated side access add everyday convenience.
Full of character yet designed for modern living, this cottage captures the essence of Bayswater charm on a block with room to grow.
