This beautifully renovated 3 bedroom 1 bathroom timber and iron cottage is one you will surely fall in love with. A paved pathway leads up to the stairway to the verandah where you can sit and enjoy the sounds of the birds in the state forest over the road. The front door opens into the formal lounge room with a wood tile fire to keep warm in the Dwellingup winters. Polished timber floors throughout the home just adds to the wonderful warm cottage feel of the home. All three bedrooms are a good queens size plus with built in robes and fans in each room, and a reverse cycle split air conditioner in the main bedroom. The kitchen has the prime position in the centre of the home and has been tastefully renovated with lots of jarrah timber cupboards and bench space, a stainless steel double draw dishwasher, an induction stove and electric oven and a hanging pot holder. As you would expect in this delightful cottage there is a gorgeous claw foot bathtub and separate shower, a separate toilet with hand basin, and a large laundry.

A gazebo covered with a grapevine for shade creates a lovely cool spot to enjoy a book in the warm afternoons with a cuppa. The backyard is securely fenced keeping both animals and children safe and has backyard access serviced with a separate lane way. A high carport capable of accommodating a caravan or boat or both and a 6m x 5m shed provides plenty of storage room or work area for the handyman. In addition to this there is a small studio or garden shed for all the garden tools or ideal pottery shed. The backyard is a gardeners delight and is all reticulated and has several fruit trees and shrubs and a flowering wisteria dripping with flowers to complete the cottage picture. The property has 8 Solar panels to assist in keeping those power bills down and NBN with a satellite dish.

Dwellingup overview
Dwellingup is located in a timber and fruitgrowing area in the Darling Range ESE of Pinjarra. Townsite lots were surveyed at this place by Surveyor W.F. Rudall in 1909 after the Lands Department became aware that the site was planned as the terminus of the "Pinjarra-Marrinup Railway". Names suggested for the place by Rudall were "Dwellingerup" or "Marrinup", after nearby brooks, or "McLarty" after a local MLA who had been very active concerning the railway. Surveyor General H.F. Johnston chose "Dwellingupp" after being misinformed regarding the spelling of Dwellingerup Brook. Ignoring a suggestion from the Under Secretary to amend the name to "Dwellingdown", the Minister for Lands approved the name as "Dwellingup" in December 1909. Eventually, the spelling "Dwellingupp" was chosen by order of the Under Secretary for Lands, and the townsite was gazetted as Dwellingupp in February 1910. The spelling was amended to Dwellingup in 1915. Dwellingup is an Aboriginal name said to mean "place of nearby water". The town was burnt out by a bushfire in 1961 but was rebuilt.
The double 'p' spelling in the original gazettal of this name was used because the Lands and Surveys Department had adopted a system for spelling Aboriginal names developed by the Royal Geographical Society. A number of Aboriginal names ending in "up" were for a time spelt with the "upp" ending (including Kirupp, Kulikupp, Manjimupp and Mungalupp). The RGS system had a rule that vowels are pronounced as in Italian and consonants as in English. This would have meant that names ending in "up" should have been pronounced as "oop", because the Italian "u" was a long "u", as in flute. These Aboriginal names were meant to be pronounced as "up", and the Department asked the RGS for a rule to assist in correct pronunciation. The RGS solution was that doubling the following consonant shortened the preceding vowel, and this meant the "upp" ending ensured the "up" pronunciation. However, this particular rule was rescinded in 1915 for SW towns with the suffix "up", as the Australian way of pronouncing the letter "u" was almost always short, and rarely the Italian "oo".
