Wisteria Cottage ~ Cute and Cosy Country Charm
Built in 1933, Wisteria Cottage is a striking Tudor style gable fronted cottage, with eye catching street appeal.
770m2 in size, the block allows for a good size rear garden as well as a generous frontage; set well back from the road by a circular drive wrapped around a lovely weeping mulberry tree. As the name would suggest, throughout the summer months the pretty front porch is draped in beautiful Wisteria. From here a lovely 1930's style timber door opens into the warm and inviting interior of the home, boasting three generous bedrooms, a spacious lounge, formal dining room, retro style kitchen and luxurious renovated bathroom.
Sympathetically restored and improved by the current owners, there is still scope to make your mark with further value adding features...and really make Wisteria Cottage your own.
