It looks like the kind of house you would find in a book of fairytales, not Adelaide’s southern suburbs.

The enchanting Aberfoyle Park home at 231 Chandlers Hill Road has a quirky character rarely found in houses today – one that’s proving to be highly desirable.

It’s been on the market for less than a week and selling agent Adam Farrelly, of Century 21 Paterson Properties, said it had attracted “amazing” interest.

“It’s the uniqueness of it attracting people, also the character as well and the history of it,” said Mr Farrelly, who is selling the property with Marg Kneebone.

“This is a one of a kind, for sure. It’s incredibly unique and beautiful.

“We’ve had amazing amounts of interest.

“People have said they’ve fallen in love with the photos so hopefully they fall in love with it in person as well.”

Affectionately known as Daweslee and described as “charming, quirky, cosy and enchanting” in its listing, the cottage is on a 903sqm block and has two bedrooms and one bathroom.

Property records show the owners bought it almost 27 years ago but the original part of the house is understood to have been built in 1900.

“Obviously there have been additions but it’s hard for us to tell when they were done,” Mr Farrelly said.

He said the living and dining room, main bedroom and bathroom were part of the original house, while a train carriage from the old Reynella station was later added at the back to create more space – now the lounge, second bedroom and kitchen.

“Off from that, they’ve built a beautiful big deck,” he said.

“The rear deck is lovely, you feel like you’re in a garden.”

The house, which overlooks the Happy Valley Reservoir, has a $400,000 to $420,000 price guide.
