Porter Matthews Victoria Park Leases Charming Renovated Ascot Cottage to Couple
Porter Matthews Victoria Park has recently leased a beautifully renovated two-bedroom, one-bathroom weatherboard cottage in the peaceful riverside suburb of Ascot, Western Australia. Set on a spacious 911 sqm block, this character-filled home offered the perfect combination of charm, modern convenience, and outdoor space, making it an ideal fit for the professional couple who were ultimately selected as the tenants.
Classic Character with Modern Comfort
This charming Ascot cottage, recently updated while still retaining its timeless appeal, immediately captured attention with its polished floorboards throughout, adding warmth and style to the interior. The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, meals, and living area, which creates a comfortable and flexible space for everyday living. This central area is equipped with a ceiling fan and reverse cycle air-conditioning, providing year-round comfort for the new tenants.
The home boasts two generously sized bedrooms, both fitted with ceiling fans for added comfort, and a sleepout/study that offers additional versatility—perfect for those working from home or needing a quiet reading space. The recently renovated kitchen features modern appliances and ample bench space, making it both functional and stylish. The modern bathroom has been tastefully updated to complement the home’s character while delivering all the modern essentials.
Spacious Outdoor Living and Unique Features
One of the key attractions of this property is its secure, fully fenced yard, which wraps around the cottage, offering privacy and safety for pets and children. The enclosed rear patio provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining or relaxing with a coffee, while shade sails to the side and rear of the cottage create additional protected outdoor spaces to enjoy throughout the day.
The block also offers car access to the rear yard, which leads to a large single-car shed, providing valuable storage or a sheltered parking option. For those who love gardening or simply appreciate fresh produce, the property also features a mature lemon tree that will be a welcome bonus for the new tenants.
Another practical feature is the rainwater tank, promoting sustainable living, while the property’s location, surrounded by stables, offers a peaceful and unique rural feel in an urban environment. Importantly, the listing specified that dogs would be considered, but must be tolerant of horses, adding a quirky and rare requirement that perfectly suited the property’s setting.
In addition to these features, lawn mowing is included in the tenancy, providing the tenants with extra convenience and reducing the time and effort required to maintain the expansive yard.
