A heritage listed cottage in a quiet street with Pittwater views. The architect designed cottage is a light-filled extension of an old sandstone garage. Something to eat & drink? It's two minutes walk away. Swim or picnic? A short walk to Clareville or Paradise beaches. Stretch your legs or cycle and you'll be at Avalon surf beach in a few minutes. Or just relax on the steps of your private cottage watching the sunset over Pittwater.

Little Ashlar is a heritage-listed sandstone garage converted into a unique, architect-designed one-bedroom apartment. Flooded with natural light, the striking angles of the modern living/dining/kitchen extension fit harmoniously with the restored sandstone bedroom & bathroom. Comfortable, spacious and absolutely one of a kind.

Additional Information

The thick, irregular sandstone walls of the bedroom make it a truly special, private space, with queen-sized bed, ceiling fan and modern conveniences like USB power sockets on each side of the bed.

The adjoining bathroom has a generous shower with a wide head, heated floor, heated towel rail and stone basin. Shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, etc. are all provided.

A few steps lead down from the bedroom/bathroom to the modern timber floored open plan living/dining/kitchen area with light flooding in from high windows and large double glazed bifold doors which open out to the steps and garden.

The living area is comfortably furnished with a thick Persian rug, generous leather sofa, antique chair, new Samsung TV and Yamaha Soundbar. The adjoining dining area with sandstone feature wall is beautifully lit for romantic dinners at the antique table. The dining table also makes a comfortable workspace.

The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need including an oven, microwave, gas cooktop, dishwasher and coffee pod machine. There is also a washer-dryer in the adjoining laundry area.
The lawn area has a small table and chairs and the steps down to this area are also great for sitting while drinking your coffee, watching the boats on Pittwater and listening to the birds in the trees.

The cottage is all yours to enjoy.
When you arrive, you will enter via the carport and a few steps down to the entrance. The door has a security code lock - we will provide you with the code when your booking is confirmed.

We live in the adjacent house and are available if you need any help or information. Otherwise, we will leave you to enjoy the place in complete privacy.

Avalon Beach is a leafy beachside outpost of Sydney with the ocean on one side and the calm waters of Pittwater on the other. Little Ashlar is on a quiet hillside street with a cafe, restaurant, bottle shop and takeaway only a 2-minute walk down the street. We are surrounded by tall spotted gums with views through the trees to Pittwater, a stone's throw away. The street is a dead-end, leading up the hill and is popular with local walkers.

A short stroll to quiet Paradise Beach and popular Clareville Beach and only a brisk walk or short cycle to the famous Avalon surf beach and village. There are two bicycles for you to use and there is a local bus and parking at the surf beach, but you'll probably be just as happy walking everywhere.
You can leave your car in the driveway or on the street at the front of the property.

Not suitable for wheelchairs due to steps.
