Cottage Charmer in The Hills

With a picket fence and a vibrant orange Persimmon tree beckoning you into the front yard, this cottage in the Adelaide Hills has all the charm and personality you would expect from a century-old property.

Well century plus - because the data on the build quotes 1900 as the year of construction, in the quaint village of Littlehampton. Robert Slekenics welcomes you to 66 Baker Street.

Located on the same street as the primary school and an amble from the main street, the approximate 525m2 corner block has an established cottage garden which makes it feel even more private: with wisteria, maples, roses, magnolias and camellias among the plantings. This is the sort of garden that will no doubt surprise you, with the owner explaining that bulbs like daffodils and jonquils just appear in season, while the fig, pomegranate and abundant lemons all form part of the edible garden.

Like all good country properties, the front verandah has been the place of choice for morning coffee, while the front door and window trims were given a fresh look with the classic blue Pantone colour of 2020.

Inside, the lounge room has a toasty combustion fire in the corner, while reverse cycle air conditioning is also handy if you're home too late to get the wood fire cranking.

Floating flooring is a contemporary touch but still works well with the aesthetic, while the LED wall lights offer mood lighting when it's time to relax on the couch.

Because of the beautiful garden views and the light, the current owners have chosen the bedroom to the left of the lounge as their master, with floor to ceiling mirrored built-ins it's also handy for storage. However, the second bedroom is also a generous size (BYO wardrobe if desired or maybe buy one second-hand to suit the cottage after you move in).

While both the bedrooms are to the left of the living spaces, the cottage also has hinged flannel glass and timber doors, through to a zone currently set up as a nursery. This also flows through to a home office, an efficient use of the cosy floor plan.

Back in the living room and your eyes are drawn forward to the dining room, a location which will be heaven for avid readers. The current owners have placed their dining table in the centre, but the room is framed by bookcases on either side and the inclusion of a rail and ladder here is likely to make creative people swoon.

Yes, those bookcases are staying, as is the funky pendant light in this space, and while the furniture is not, the owners' styling may provide buyers with some fabulous tips on how to dress the space. #cottagestyle, #midcenturystyle, #vintagevibe.

The galley style kitchen with its blue glass splash back, streamlined white cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances (including an almost-new Bosch dishwasher) may well inspire you to buy fresh produce from the local stalls on the back roads that the owners have enjoyed visiting - maybe, you could whip up an apple pie or two?

When it comes to the bathroom, if you like to soak in a deep, freestanding tub (preferably with a glass of wine and a good book from your library) then chances are you may want to invest in a 'do not enter' sign. This room also has a beautiful timber vanity, with marble top that perfectly suits the home's era and a gold-coloured railway luggage rack for the towels.

A European-style laundry in a cupboard is a pleasant surprise in this space, so you won't need clothes hampers here or to head outside to wash.
In the backyard, a big central mulberry tree commands attention, thanks to its gnarly trunk and enormous leaves, while there's ample garden tool storage, a rainwater tank and three raised timber garden beds for the veggies you'll want to plant.

The owners have put in a carport with a roller door among a detailed list of improvements (interested parties are welcome to view the list on request).

They have enjoyed watching the changing of the seasons and all the beautiful colours, which are evident not only in their garden but in the area at large.
Perhaps the best news if you work in the city, is that Adelaide is about half an hour's drive away but when you head back to the hills, it's likely you'll feel another world away.
Could this be your next country home or hideaway in the Hills?
