Discover a rare piece of history with this enchanting 1940s cottage, beautifully preserved to capture its original charm while thoughtfully updated for comfortable living. Each of the two generously extended bedrooms invites relaxation, nearly doubling in size to offer airy, light-filled spaces adorned with charming touches, including rustic timber beams repurposed from the iconic Cotter Bridge, gracefully arching over select doorways.
Situated on a lush and level block of 1077m², the grounds offer a true sanctuary. The gardens are a vibrant tapestry of mature trees, thoughtfully arranged garden beds, and private nooks-crafted to bring peace and privacy without requiring much maintenance. This "set-and-forget" garden creates an idyllic backdrop for outdoor relaxation and entertaining.
Behind the main residence, a delightful surprise awaits: a spacious barn-style studio, built in the 1980s and currently serving as an inspiring art studio. Bathed in natural light and featuring lofty ceilings, a cozy Mezzanine sitting area, a fireplace, a quiet back room, and an expansive bathroom, this hidden retreat holds endless potential. Unseen from the street, it offers an inviting, versatile space perfect for creative pursuits or guest accommodations.
With its captivating blend of vintage character, serene garden setting, and flexible living spaces, this truly unique property invites you to experience comfort and charm in a home like no other. Whether hosting gatherings or enjoying a peaceful escape, this is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind sanctuary that combines timeless elegance with effortless tranquility.
