5 Darrowby Place, Sawyers Valley WA 6074

A Cottage Dream Life

If your style is all warm whites and timber accents, dappled natural sunlight, French doors opening to paved verandahs and crackling fire in a pot belly and potted plants trailing down built-in bookshelves… well, have we ever got the home for you? Feel like you're living in the pages of your favourite Country Style magazine in this picturesque retreat for your body and soul in beautiful Sawyers Valley. The owner has lovingly and painstakingly crafted an abode to capture authentic cottage charm, and it's paid off. This refreshed cottage brings together the best of both worlds: a welcoming family home that radiates warmth and character, just minutes from cosy cafes, friendly pubs, second-hand shops, and the bushwalking paradise of the Sawyers Valley Super Block. Set on a sprawling block on a coveted cul de sac, if you're looking to live in a home that reminds you to be grateful for the beautiful things in life, this one will do just that every single day.

Be warned, once you step inside the front door, you probably won't want to leave. The charm is immediate with an open-plan living and dining area with gorgeous flooring, large windows, and built-in bookcase and bench seating - for when you have extras over or just want to sit and chat with your favourite over a cup of tea and a muffin. The country kitchen has been magnificently and tastefully updated, showcasing freshly painted timber cabinets, a generous expanse of countertops, and a breakfast bar for taste testers that even boasts extra storage. Stainless steel appliances including a Blanco oven with a gas cooktop and a Samsung dishwasher, bring functionality to this classic space, and with garden views from the kitchen window, it'll be easy to get swept away by the beauty of your surroundings every time you cook.

There's a chook house with a secure run for fresh eggs, a fire pit for cosy nights under the stars, and a whimsical outdoor stage, perfect for family performances or outdoor fun. A powered studio with water access offers flexibility as a workshop, storage area, or perhaps a future creative retreat.
