Discover the timeless allure of 'Hestercombe,' a charming cottage named after a medieval estate in the UK. Believed to be among the very first homes in Mooroolbark, this old-world treasure sits on approximately half an acre, just moments from the area's vibrant activity centre.
Venturing forth from the established gardens, adorned with towering twin palms and a magnificent oak tree, the home stands in all its character splendour, fronted by a charming verandah.
Inside, many of the home's original features remain, including tall ceilings, Baltic pine flooring, decorative windows, and intricate wall panelling. These timeless elements create an inspiring canvas for enhancement, inviting new custodians to renew its majesty through thoughtful renovations. The home has been extended over time but still offers ample rear space for further growth.
It boasts a lounge room, a kitchen and meals area that features both an original IXL cooker and a freestanding electric cooker, a sunroom, three bedrooms, one bathroom with a clawfoot bath, shower, vanity and toilet, a mudroom and a laundry with double wash troughs and a second toilet.
A sundeck is connected to the rear of the home, overlooking a spaciously-sized backyard.
Additional features that complement 'Hestercombe', include solar roof panels, wood and gas heaters, a split system air conditioner, a vegetable patch, fruit trees, three water tanks holding a total of 12,000 litres, a bungalow and workshop with power, and a tandem double garage with a remote-controlled door.
