What began as a humble 6x6m quarry stone cottage way back in 1890 would become stables before embarking on a transformation that makes this unique Hills property something to savour on the cusp of Aldgate.
Unique because with the cottage comes a separate two-storey guest house, adding to this curious equation two more bedrooms and the flexibility to choose where you sleep at different times of the year.
On account of its granite-laden and fully-equipped kitchen, bedroom, huge ensuite, walk-in robe and living zone, the cleverly extended cottage is a charming home in its own right.
In summer, the rammed-earth guest house - headlined by passive cooling properties, architectural cues, two-upper level bedrooms, bathroom, and a living zone of its own - is also enticing for pesky teens, perfect granny flat, weekend stragglers or AirBnB guests.
Whilst you always have the capacity to join these two dwellings together, it's hard to deny the way multiple alfresco zones do the same thing - in their own wonderful kind of way.
Whether it's the sunken paved courtyard that connects to the guest house through slidable jarrah doors, the timber deck with retractable cafe blinds, or the cottage's private patio with nights by a fire-pit in mind...
It's no wonder the current owners have thrown a party or two.
One thing's for sure, this one-of-a-kind home finds enviable, leafy position where Bridgewater becomes Aldgate, giving you the best of two popular Hills villages. It's your turn to savour it.
