THIS Bayswater home has loads of character and is full of surprises.

The entrance is like a sort of Secret Garden with dense foliage and leafy trees obscuring the gate.

The feeling of entering somewhere atmospheric is enhanced by the set of stairs leading to the leadlight front door.

The interior of this two bedroom one bathroom home continues the stylish theme.

The lounge is particularly gorgeous and features a beautiful period fireplace, wide jarrah floorboards, picture rails and stylish cornicing.

The owners have subtly blended old with new with a massive TV above the mantelpiece and some funky guitars hanging on the wall.

It’s been artfully done and gives this home its own personality and character.

A nice bonus is you have direct access to the verandah through a set of French doors in the lounge.

The kitchen continues the elegant theme with a jet-black Smeg cooker contrasting with white cupboards and drawers.

It’s a cute kitchen and there’s leafy views out the window.

If you venture out the back, you’ll find a delightful courtyard with an outdoor dining table and a quaint green shed with an old Indian motorcycle advertising sign.

It’s another quirky touch that works really well.

A set of stairs leads to an elevated area with manicured lawn, large veggie garden and the surprise package – a massive studio or double garage, depending on your needs.

It’s plumbed-in, has built-in cabinetry and an electric roller door.

Back in the main house, the renovated bathroom and bedrooms are finished to the same high standard, with the bathroom featuring a very pretty, ornate clawfoot bath. 

The home also includes a laundry and out-house toilet, so plenty of room for a growing brood or guests staying in the studio.

The abode includes high ceilings, split system AC, reticulated gardens with a productive grapevine and olive tree, fully fenced front and back gardens, and rear right of way access from Veitch Street.

Situated on a full 453sqm green-title block on Whatley Crescent in the heart of Bayswater, you are in the catchment for Bayswater Primary School and its close to the town centre, Frank Drago Reserve and the local tennis and soccer clubs.  

And come the weekend, jump on your bike and head down to the cycle path at the river.

This is a cool cottage with lots of personality and the odd surprise.
