Built in the early 1900′s as an investment property for a well-heeled South Perth socialite, this much loved cottage has a charming sense of history. Situated in one of the most central yet private Darlington locations, this unique home will be prized for its location and character.

Wander down the steps to the front entry of this quaint timber and iron home. Cute double doors lead into the cosy sitting and dining room which has feature timber beams and enjoys a pretty outlook over the gardens from many aspects. Throw open the french doors to the wide balcony which has sweeping views over the gently sloping block and gardens and you have the perfect spot to enjoy a coffee with the morning paper.

The country style timber kitchen forms the hub of this living space. It has a practical layout and enjoys a pretty outlook to the entrance courtyard. Jarrah flooring and exposed feature brick walls add a warm and homely feel.

Wander through the beautiful headlight doors which are the handiwork of renowned local artisan Judy Kotai (whose works feature elsewhere throughout the home) into the formal lounge with adjacent study area. A slow combustion fire set into a feature exposed brick fireplace keeps this room beautifully cosy in winter. The two minor bedrooms are located to the front of this home and are accessed through a small central ancillary room which provides great storage. Small lofts in both of these cute bedrooms provide great sleeping space for adventurous kids and allow the ground level to easily accommodate a study area or play space.

The master bedroom is located to the rear of the cottage. French doors from this room open out onto the balcony allowing parents a private escape and a beautiful vista of the pretty gardens. A whimsical trap door outside the master bedroom leads downstairs to another cosy room which would be perfect as a study or ancillary room. This room has direct access to the adjacent second bathroom and to the rear garden.

The current owner’s keen eye for environmental and cost-saving measures, has seen the addition of a huge 200,000L water tank, a unique watering system which gravity feeds grey water from the upstairs bathroom to the garden and solar panels. A roof top fire protection system which utilises the tank water is a handy safety feature in the summer months.

Quaint and unique, but more importantly perfectly located in this sought after area of Darlington, “Railway Cottage” has so much to offer and so much opportunity for the astute buyer.
