Set back from and above Edgeware Road, Braidwood carves out a serene pocket of Aldgate where birdsong replaces bustle and every window looks out to green. This character-filled cottage circa 1935 sits in an elevated position overlooking an established private garden, wrapping you in rustic charm from the moment you arrive.
A circular driveway sets the scene, flanked by prolific pin oaks, azaleas and rhododendrons that make even a casual stroll feel like a Hills retreat. It's a rambling Adelaide Hills garden in the truest sense – layered, leafy, and lovingly immersive.
Inside, the home wears its era beautifully. Polished timber floors, leadlight windows and lofty decorative ceilings create instant warmth, while cosy fireplaces invite slow mornings and lingering evenings. It's also a solar-powered haven that's ready for modern life without losing its soul.
The floorplan offers multiple places to settle in and unwind, each with a garden outlook. Choose the rear lounge, the sunroom that connects to the master ensuite, or one of three alfresco patios tucked into the tiered rear gardens – perfect for reading, entertaining, or doing not much at all.
When inspiration strikes, the country-style open-plan kitchen delivers charm and function with timber tops and decorative pressed metal details.
And then comes the surprise: a separate self-contained one-bedroom cottage/granny flat at the rear. Complete with its own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living zone, it mirrors the main home's character while offering valuable flexibility – welcome extended family, create a work-from-home base, or supplement your income.
All this in a leafy Aldgate village location where you can walk to the village and all conveniences, with Stirling and Bridgewater close by too. Just 15 minutes from the Tollgate, Braidwood's seclusion is beautifully connected.
