Nestled in a picturesque rural setting, 1397 Dovedale Road is an enchanting country retreat that feels both grounded in tradition and thoughtfully reimagined for today’s living.

Set on an expansive 4,047sqm section, this beautifully renovated 1950’s cottage captures the essence of relaxed rural living. From the moment you arrive, there’s an undeniable sense of warmth and character, enhanced by the home’s tasteful colour palette and lovingly preserved features.

Inside, the transformation is striking. The heart of the home has been opened up to create a light-filled, open-plan kitchen and living space, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. At its centre sits a stunning American oak kitchen, complete with quality finishes and a classic butler’s sink, blending farmhouse charm with modern functionality.

Rich wooden floors flow throughout, adding depth and texture, while the newly installed freestanding wood burner creates a cosy focal point for cooler months. The home is fully insulated, re-wired, and re-plumbed, offering peace of mind alongside its undeniable character. Thoughtful additions include USB ports and dimmer lights in each bedroom, while downlights throughout the home offer sunrise and sunset lighting, allowing for peaceful mornings and evenings.

The layout includes four light-filled bedrooms, complemented by a beautifully renovated bathroom featuring a statement clawfoot bath and quality English tapware, inviting you to unwind in style.

Step outside and the magic continues. A covered deck extends from the living area, providing the perfect spot to relax and take in the tranquil surroundings. The property boasts an abundance of established fruit trees, and a vegetable or flower patch, offering a seasonal bounty and reinforcing the self-sufficient country lifestyle.

Additional features include a practical mudroom/workshop at the rear, ideal for hobbyists or those needing extra space.
Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat, a family haven, or a lifestyle change, this captivating cottage delivers it all—wrapped in charm, comfort, and countryside appeal.
