Cottages with as much character and comfort as this one do not come along very often. Extended to provide additional living space, this delightful three bedroom home sits proudly on a traditional quarter acre block just a few streets back from Margaret River's main street.
Built in 1954, the home blends timeless charm with thoughtful updates, including an extension to the living space, creating a warm and inviting environment ready for its next chapter. The generous block offers subdivision potential under the R20 zoning, making this a smart purchase for future growth.
The spacious backyard is full of potential, with plenty of room for children, pets, or future plans. There is also space to potentially park a caravan. The backyard features mature trees, offering shade, privacy, and a beautiful natural setting. Additionally, the shed in the backyard offers exciting potential for conversion into an ancillary dwelling, providing opportunities for rental income, a studio, or guest accommodation. The backyard also boasts a treehouse, adding a touch of adventure and charm for children or simply as a unique feature for your outdoor space.
The living space is complemented by a wood fire heater in the original section of the home, ideal for cosy winter nights, and an air conditioning unit in the extended living area, ensuring year round comfort.

Margaret River overview
The townsite of Margaret River is located in the south west agricultural area, 277 kilometres south southwest of Perth and 48 kilometres south southwest of Busselton. It is located on the Margaret River from which it derives its name. The precise origin of the naming of the river is not known, but it was possibly named by John Bussell in honour of Margaret Wyche, a friend in England who was expected to follow the Bussell's to Australia. The name is first shown on a map of the region published in 1839.
In 1910 the Margaret River Progress Association wrote to the Minister for Lands requesting a townsite be declared at "the Upper Margaret Bridge". The reason given was that "the district is likely to be dotted with public buildings several miles apart in the near future if a townsite is not made available shortly". The District Surveyor who inspected the area preferred an area near the lower bridge on Caves Road, but this land was not available. Lots were surveyed in 1912, and the Townsite of Margaret River gazetted in 1913. In 1918 the name of the townsite was changed to "Margaret", but it was changed back to Margaret River in 1927, due to local usage of the name always being Margaret River.
