Beyond the distinctive Moroccan-pink faade of this freestanding Victorian workers cottage is a sophisticated residence with bags of charisma and charm. Built in the early 1880s, this unique home extends over two thoughtfully designed levels, with north-facing dining and outdoor entertaining, generous accommodation and a 2nd bedroom or large home office. Set on a quiet lane with little traffic, this tranquil home showcases exquisite character detailing throughout. And thanks to its perfect northerly aspect and some well-placed skylights, natural light is at a premium in every room.

Loved by the same owners for 21 years, this low-maintenance home is perfect for professionals or empty nesters, where convenience is paramount. In this premier pocket of Paddington, you are surrounded by a vast number of popular eateries and boutique shops.
