8 Bates Road, Innaloo WA 6018

What we love:
Beyond the high picket fence and past the pergola draped in pretty wisteria, is this gorgeous, renovated character cottage with three bedrooms, two living areas, a large front yard with mature gardens and it's so close to the shops, parks and schools you can walk or skate to all super easily.

You enter the home into the first of the big living spaces; perfect as a parent's retreat and notice the super high ceilings and fireplace straight away. The jarrah floors are original too and run throughout the home.

This space flows to the U-shaped kitchen and the new layout of the home ensures it's positioned centrally, connecting to the second, more casual lounge/dining room combination at the rear of the home as well. There's a distinctly laid-back vibe to the design of these rear living spaces with their whitewashed timber floors and ceiling.

Bedrooms are off a central hall with the modern bathroom, and as you'd expect they are spacious rooms, with beautiful high ceilings and one with built-in robe.

Outdoor entertaining is under that pretty pergola with the recycled brick paving here a nod to the character of this pretty cottage.

The home is set well back from the street, and wonderfully private thanks to lush mature gardens and quality fencing.
