Overview

Set within nearly an acre of meticulously cultivated gardens, this circa-1910 weatherboard cottage masterfully bridges heritage charm with contemporary comfort. Nestled a short walk from Bridgetown's vibrant main street and local schools, the property offers a serene lifestyle complemented by a garden that flourishes through all seasons.

The home’s character is underscored by high ceilings, polished jarrah floors, French doors, and period features, enhanced by modern conveniences such as five reverse-cycle air conditioners, underfloor insulation, two wood-burning heaters, and a heat-pump hot water system. These upgrades ensure year-round comfort without compromising the home's vintage appeal.

Flexible living arrangements include three generously sized bedrooms, a study, and two living areas, catering well to families, professionals working from home, or those who appreciate versatile spaces. The recently remodeled bathroom boasts both a walk-in shower and bath, augmented by a second toilet and updated laundry for daily practicality. Outdoor relaxation is enhanced by a clawfoot bath in the lush garden setting.

The garden is a standout feature, featuring extensive landscaping including ornamental cherries, multiple wisteria varieties, roses, crepe myrtles, Japanese maples, and more—offering year-round color and tranquility. The established fruit trees and multiple garden sheds support hobbyists or those with a green thumb. An internal ring road and an extensive reticulation system have been thoughtfully designed to maintain these gardens and provide convenient access.

Additional amenities include a powered shed for storage or projects, carport, under-house storage, and substantial attic space with potential for further development. The property’s land, approximately 3,617 sqm (~0.89 acres), has been partially restumped, painted inside and out, and presents opportunities for subdivision subject to council approvals.

Bridgetown’s unique blend of heritage, natural beauty, community amenities, and proximity to regional centers like Bunbury make this property a distinctive opportunity for those seeking a rural lifestyle with accessible conveniences.
