Enter the cottage and you are immediately drawn to the classic features and charm of yesteryear with original jarrah floors, feature timber beams and stone fireplace.
A central passage way with slow combustion fire provides access to the bedroom and bathroom wing. The master bedroom with its own ensuite has the benefit of direct access to a heated spa, just perfect for those cool winter nights and romantics alike.
Two other good sized bedrooms and an office currently used as a separate TV room or fourth bedroom and main quaint bathroom with claw foot bath are also accessed.

From the passage way you enter the cosy colonial country style kitchen and casual meals area. Stacks of bench space and cupboards plus large cooker are more than ample to allow you to cook up that intimate family meal.
Should you wish to entertain, a separate formal dining is provided with beautiful serene outlooks over the property.
The family or lounge room shows the real character of "Dara Cottage". Beamed ceilings, original timber floors and mantle stone fireplace (the current owners have converted to gas for their own convenience), but can be easily restored to an open fireplace should you wish.

Exiting from the family room, you have the pleasure of a large covered decked alfrseco or entertaining area. Blessed with scenic views over the block, your mind is taken back in time to wonder what once was in the days of George Temple-Poole who was instrumental in designing such iconic Perth landmark buildings as the Perth Mint, Perth Museum and General Post Office just to name a few.

Some other features to mention are separate laundry with third toilet, ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning, 6m x 6m powered shed, secluded seating areas, pond and mini orchard and stacks of extra parking.
