69 Cricket Street

Commanding an enviable elevated street presence, this gorgeous original 19th century cottage has been tastefully updated to blend an old-style workers cottage character home with modern architecture. Externally the property known as Bledlow cottage, which derives its name from the England's historic county of Buckinghamshire, projects a nostalgic tilt to yesteryear, whereas inside the home you are gifted with all the modern amenities for the comfort of today's living. Entry via a grand stairway from Cricket Street through the tropical floral garden presents a picture-perfect view of the front of the home and leads you directly onto the first of three external living spaces. The front deck offers a welcoming vista over Cricket Street where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the surrounding area. As you step inside the home you are greeted with an open-plan lounge and dining area seamlessly connected to the modern kitchen through a convenient servery. There are two immaculate, generously sized bedrooms, complete with built-ins and ceiling fans. As you move further into the home, a thoughtfully designed bathroom with modern amenities awaits, accompanied by a separate WC for added privacy. The galley-style kitchen, equipped with updated stainless-steel appliances, stylish tiling, timber benches, and easy entertaining access complete the main living level.
