ROMANTIC TIMBER COTTAGE IN FAIRY-TALE GARDEN MEWS. SO MUCH LIGHT & CHARACTER

This gorgeous little residential pocket is just like the "Covent Garden" of Paddington - a delightful maze of sun drenched cobbled streets that has lost none of its charm in progression to modern standards. On the corner of Short Lane stands a dainty timber cottage as surprisingly spacious on the inside as it is gorgeous on the outside. Sensitively renovated it has a sizable yet cosy living and dining room plus a modern bathroom only a couple steps away from a timber and white kitchen opening out to a charming courtyard. Then take a few steps up to the study area and couple more to the giant bedroom with its 3 pretty dormer windows and another bathroom.

Suburb Guide

Paddington

Just 3km from the CBD, quaint and charming Paddington is one of Sydney's best-known suburbs. It's renowned primarily for Oxford Street, the vast boulevard which runs north to south through the entire suburb and is one of Sydney's premier shopping destinations.Lined with interesting boutiques, high-street shops and eclectic specialty stores, it's also the home of the Paddington Markets, held every Saturday in Paddington Primary School. Glenmore Road (The Intersection with Oxford Street), William Street and Five Ways have also emerged as world-class shopping strips, and it's here that you'll find some of the city's most fashionable boutiques.Paddington is famous for the ornate Victorian terraces which dominate almost every one of its meandering streets. Still quite working class up until the late '80s, Paddington's rapid gentrification saw these formerly rundown residences snapped up and renovated at a rate of knots, with the high demand sending prices skyrocketing into the million dollar stratosphere.

Paddington plays host to a vast array of revered galleries, including the famed Sherman Galleries, which congregate primarily around Glenmore Road and the prestigious tree-lined boulevard of Paddington Street.

It's well-known for its pub culture, with traditional hotels such as The Royal, Bellevue, The London and The Paddington Inn offering great pub food at reasonable prices. A firm favourite among trendy inner city types and executives, Paddington's increasingly high prices mean that the affluent have a firm foothold on the suburb.
