An exceptional double-fronted five-bedroom detached family residence, discreetly positioned to the rear of a small and exclusive development within the highly regarded village of Melbourne.

Upon entry, a spacious and welcoming entrance hall with a central staircase sets the tone for the accommodation. The ground floor offers a versatile study/playroom, an elegant lounge, a formal dining room, and a superb high-specification open-plan kitchen and living space that forms the heart of the home — perfectly suited for both everyday living and entertaining. A separate utility room and downstairs cloakroom complete the ground floor.

The first floor is arranged around a galleried landing and features an impressive 20-foot Master bedroom with dressing area and a stylish en-suite. A further double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and en-suite, three additional well-proportioned bedrooms, and a contemporary family bathroom provide excellent accommodation for a growing family.

Externally, the property is approached via a block-paved driveway leading to the detached double garage, with mature planting to the foregarden and a pathway to an inset storm porch with exterior lighting.

To the rear, the substantial south-facing garden has been beautifully landscaped with mature planted borders, decorative Cotswold buff stone detailing, a sweeping curved patio ideal for outdoor entertaining, and an expansive lawn. A standout feature is the bespoke timber outbuilding, complete with power, lighting and air conditioning — offering a superb home office, studio or summer house.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and immaculately presented family home in one of Melbourne’s most desirable residential settings.

A word from the owner

The property is perfect for a large or growing family. Lovely Kitchen/Lounge area over-looking the garden. Much larger than average rear garden compared to other new build properties. Double Garage plus parking for up to 6 cars which is unusual for a new build. Nice, quiet, location but easy walking distance to local schools and amenities.
