49 Spencer Street, Bridgetown WA 6255

GORGEOUS GARDENS, CHARMING COTTAGE!

This beautifully restored historic home, set amongst nearly an acre of rose- and wisteria-filled gardens, is just a short stroll from Bridgetown's main street and local schools.

With three bedrooms and a study, the weatherboard cottage combines the charm of yesteryear with modern-day comfort. Wide verandahs offer views across the gardens and surrounding landscape, while high ceilings, French doors and period features preserve its circa-1910 character.

Generous bedrooms, two living areas and a separate study are flexible spaces for family life, entertaining or working from home. The powered shed provides ample storage and a workspace for projects.

In recent years, the property has undergone extensive improvements, both inside and out. Underfloor insulation, five reverse-cycle split-system air conditioners and two wood-burning heaters provide year-round warmth.

A recently remodelled bathroom, second toilet, new heat-pump hot water system and fresh bedroom carpets add further practicality and comfort. Outdoors, the clawfoot bath (with hot water and shower) is a lovely place to unwind amongst nature.

The house has been partially restumped, its verandahs and balustrades replaced, and much of its interior and exterior freshly painted. The substantial attic spaces offer further potential for storage or development as additional floorspace. Subdivision of the block may also be an option, subject to council approvals.

MORE INFO

A garden to enjoy every season. The gardens are one of the property's main highlights.

Carefully developed over many years, they offer a succession of colour and interest throughout the seasons.

Spring begins with clouds of blossoms from ornamental cherries and fruit trees, followed by cascades of purple, white and pink wisteria, including the spectacular longissima and Kuni varieties.

As the weather warms, established roses take centre stage, including a magnificent bower at the entrance filled with banksia roses and Pierre De Ronsards.

Summer is when the vibrant ornamental crepe myrtles flourish, including Tonto and Zuni, while autumn transforms the garden again with the rich foliage of Japanese maples, October Glory and Virginia creeper. Nearly an acre of genuinely usable land

What distinguishes this property from many of Bridgetown's larger residential blocks is the investment in landscaping to make the land accessible and usable.

Extensive earthworks have created multiple level areas, generous lawns and an expansive open area at the rear of the property.

Whether your ambitions include a productive vegetable garden, an orchard, additional outdoor entertaining areas or a future studio, there is room to explore the possibilities, subject to relevant approvals.

An internal ring road provides convenient vehicle access around the grounds, while an extensive reticulation system, designed with future expansion in mind, helps maintain the established gardens.
