A charming ‘Riley Newsome’ English cottage with a marvellous garden

26A Hawdon Street, Ainslie

A wonderful weatherboard cottage nestled in the sought-after suburb of Ainslie, 26A Hawdon Street is a fantastic opportunity to own an incredibly delightful, bright and airy, picture-perfect home.

Stepping inside this stylish abode brings a sense of peace and calm, from the marvellous garden area ideal for your Sunday morning coffee or summer barbecues with family and friends, to the soothing colour palette. Plus, the body corporate is self-managed with no fees.

Agent Stephen Bunday says the home is affectionately known as a ‘Riley Newsome’ property coming in kit form from England in the 1950s when Canberra needed housing. Needless to say, it’s full of character and charm.

“The beautiful cedar French doors that open onto the front hardwood deck and provide a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow, the established front hedge which provides excellent privacy to the front courtyard, and the character features throughout including timber sash windows, are just a few of our favourites,” Mr Bunday says.  

“The Mt Ainslie Nature Reserve, a second home to bushwalkers, mountain bikers and nature lovers, is right at your doorstep. It’s only a short two-minute drive from the wonderful Ainslie shops or a three-minute drive to the Dickson town centre, or if you want to meander a little further, only a 10-minute drive into the Canberra CBD.

“It’s an entry-level opportunity for Ainslie and perfect for a young couple or small family looking to enter the Inner North. The excellent location and functional floorplan make it a real winner.”
