Description

Step into a remarkable piece of Melbourne’s rich heritage with this captivating Grade II listed residence, originally two framework knitters’ cottages dating back to 1795, now thoughtfully combined to create a unique and characterful home. This charming property offers a rare opportunity to own a slice of history, beautifully balanced with carefully considered updates for modern living. Full of warmth, personality, and practicality, it sits proudly within the highly desirable village of Melbourne, blending period charm with everyday convenience. Offered to the market with no onward chain, it presents a seamless and stress-free move for its next owners.

Arranged over three floors, the property provides a versatile and well-proportioned layout, perfectly suited to a variety of lifestyles. The ground floor welcomes you into two distinct reception rooms, each offering its own atmosphere and purpose. Whether used for cosy evenings in, formal entertaining, or relaxed family time, these spaces adapt effortlessly — working hard during the week and offering comfort and calm at the weekend.

To the front of the property, the premium kitchen is a standout feature, combining generous workspace with ample storage, making it ideal for both everyday use and more ambitious culinary pursuits. Overlooking Blanch Croft, the kitchen enjoys a pleasant outlook and is fully equipped with high-quality integrated appliances, ensuring both functionality and style are delivered in equal measure.

To the rear, the home opens into a delightful open-plan living and dining area, centred around an original open fireplace with its characterful surround — a true focal point that enhances the room’s warmth and charm. This inviting space provides direct access to both the first floor and the rear courtyard, creating a natural flow throughout the home and a perfect setting for entertaining or unwinding.

Ascending to the upper levels, the property continues to impress with three generously sized double bedrooms, each offering a peaceful and private retreat. The first floor also benefits from an open-plan office area, an increasingly valuable feature for those working from home or seeking a dedicated study space, all while maintaining a sense of openness and light.

The bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated to complement the home’s character while introducing a more contemporary feel. The main bathroom is particularly appealing, featuring a walk-in shower, WC, and wash basin, alongside charming double-aspect leaded windows that fill the space with natural light and enhance its period appeal.

Occupying the second floor, the principal bedroom is a truly special space, offering both privacy and a sense of calm. Beautifully designed with care and attention to detail, it is complemented by an elegant en suite bathroom, complete with a classic roll-top bath, WC, and wash basin — creating a luxurious yet timeless feel.

Externally, the property continues to delight. The beautifully landscaped cottage-style rear courtyard offers a tranquil and enclosed outdoor space, perfect for enjoying quiet moments or hosting guests. A charming stone-paved seating area provides an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening drinks, while a useful outbuilding offers additional storage or potential for use as a workshop or hobby space.

Perfectly positioned, the property enjoys the best of village living. Melbourne is renowned for its strong sense of community, independent shops, and welcoming eateries, all of which are easily accessible from the doorstep. Despite its peaceful and tucked-away setting, the home remains well connected to larger towns and transport links, making it both convenient and serene.

This is far more than just a house — it is a lifestyle opportunity. A home where history, character, and modern comfort come together, offering space to grow, entertain, and truly unwind in an exceptional setting.
