This charming bungalow has been meticulously restored, preserving its architectural character, while reimagining it for modern life. Structural challenges, including subsidence at a low point of the section, were met with extensive re-piling and drainage solutions, ensuring the home’s stability for generations to come. The exterior retains historic charm and warmth, with carefully selected materials, including an investment in new timber joinery. Inside, thoughtful updates breathe new life into every room. Central to the renovation is the living area, where an intricate plaster ceiling was preserved even as the roof above it was replaced — a remarkable feat of protection and precision. Collaboration with a local interior designer means details, such as custom cornices and skirting, reflect a commitment to authenticity.

A pop of dark contrast in the kitchen softens the elegant palette. The 234sqm floorplan now accommodates four bedrooms, two bathrooms and dual living spaces. One of the most practical additions is a dedicated office space, which provides a productive environment for the owner to work from home when necessary. Sliding doors can be closed or opened wide, connecting with glass doors across the hall for that all-important link to the great outdoors and family life.
