A large kitchen boasting stone benches, walk-in pantry, plenty of cupboard space, quality appliances, and rainwater connection is adjacent to the dining/lounge area with a jumbo sized slow combustion fire for the cooler months. This space opens onto an enormous undercover deck, with a secluded reticulated garden, enclosed by rustic rammed earth walls. The all-weather deck links to a powered 6m x 9m shed, including workbenches and 3 phase power, with a lean-to along one side; all excellent for storage, workshop and parking with plenty of room for caravans, boats or trailers. Adjoining the kitchen, an enclosed light-filled carport with glass doors overlooking the front garden serves as the perfect art studio, but could also be a home business, gym or teen retreat.
Out the back from the lounge, a sun-catching patio overlooks the bounty of several raised water-wise veggie beds and fruit trees, and leads to established garden with mulch stations, enclosed chook pen/garden shed and loads of open space for the kids to kick a ball or enjoy the cubby. Add to this the convenience of fast internet connection, scheme water, sewerage, abundant bird life and long-term reliable neighbours, you can enjoy an easy self-sustainable life here at 8 Edward Place.

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.
