First-home buyer: Cute ‘hippie’ cottage a retreat from city life for under $400k

The interior is all ship-lap style timber.

There's a covered outdoor dining area off the living room.

The kitchen is a little on the snug side, but there's room enough to cook a meal.

The home has two bedrooms, and a sleep out.

The sleep-out could be great for guests, an art studio, or a work from home office - or perhaps all three.
