26 Ascot Road, Bowral

This superb, renovated Bowral charmer is a perfect strata alternative for those looking to downsize but who want to remain close to everything.

Less than a kilometre’s level walk to Bowral’s cafes and shopping precincts, medical facilities and Bradman Oval, and drenched in morning sunshine, this smart, character, weatherboard cottage with fabulous terracotta rooftiles, original polished hardwood floorboards, near-new kitchen and renovated bathroom has a magnificent covered, north-facing timber deck just added on the rear – perfect for Sunday morning brunches or cocktails at dusk. Broad steps lead down to an easy-care garden of shady deciduous trees, espaliered fruit trees and raised vegetable plots.

1950’s details have been sympathetically revisited, freshly painted and updated and lend to the cottage’s obvious appeal with all desirable modern comforts, and the convenience of superb location, north-to-rear decking, and a manageable and private quarter-acre garden.

The renovated kitchen features a French farmhouse sink with brass tapware, Caesarstone benchtops, dishwasher and gas cooktop and there is a cleverly concealed and freshly refitted family bathroom.
