Sitting pretty atop just over ¾ of an acre of gently sloping land, you'll uncover this adorable cottage. I liken her to an old cardigan that needs a couple of stitches and a button or two which would turn her back in to a roaring 20's lady of substance. The moments of joy you'll squeeze from every day - sitting on your elevated outdoor decking soaking up the view. From breakfast with the kookaburras to evening cocktails with precious friends, you now have your own private sanctuary filled with birdsong and inspiration.
Surprisingly spacious for a one bedroom cottage, this home has been modernised while still retaining its 1920s charm. The bathroom/laundry has been tastefully renovated but you will need to pop outside for the picture-perfect outdoor loo!
The open plan layout connects the cosy kitchen to the dining and living area - bathed in natural light and extending towards the glass windows leading to that sprawling deck - as do the doors from the bedroom as well.
The gorgeous brick studio/artist studio/music sanctuary/yoga space/meditation room, or world's prettiest home office is also a bonus to the property. This space lends itself to a myriad of options, only limited by your imagination.

Thoughts
Live in it as it is and enjoy the space and serenity and become self-sufficient with vege patches and solar etc. Ideal for the gentle life.
Or
Live in the cottage while you build your dream home (but it is NOT sub-dividable at present). Then you would have a fully equipped guest house with studio at the top of the block (or somewhere to house the children when they won't leave home!!!) or you can Airbnb. AND…… you could have your dream home that you have built closer to the centre or front of the property. You can have it all.
Or
Extend the cottage to make it the feature home and overlook the pretty piece land, the views and relish your own divine piece of the world. The cottage makes a fantastic base to build your dream.

The name "Darlington" is derived from adding the English suffix "ton", meaning "town" to the name of the range in the area - Darling Range which was first named "General Darling Range". The name was first used by Dr Alfred Waylen who established the "Darlington Vineyard" here in 1883-4.
Darlington remains one of the few locations in the Perth hills with an early 20th century village ambience. It is known for its vibrant community with seemingly as many committees and groups as it has residents. The suburb has a local general store however residents rely on the the facilities at Midland and Mundaring which are close by. There are also various primary and secondary schools in the area.
