Overview

Perched prominently on Lord Street, this distinctive family residence masterfully merges a charming 1920s cottage with a skillfully designed modern extension, creating a perfect blend of character and contemporary living. The fusion of old-world aesthetics with fresh architectural elements offers residents exceptional flexibility and functionality.

The original cottage section encompasses three large bedrooms, including a master with ensuite, complemented by a generous main bathroom featuring both a walk-in shower and a separate bath. Period details such as picture rails and polished hardwood floors enhance the hallway, leading to separate dining and lounge areas, as well as a kitchen that includes its own living space, cleverly designed to suit families at varying life stages.

Completed in 2021, the extension significantly expands the home’s capabilities, adding a spacious double garage with rear yard vehicle access and an independently accessible self-contained loft. This loft, fitted with a kitchenette and bathroom, provides a versatile retreat ideal for teenagers, guests, or potential rental income (subject to council approval).
