48A Melba Parade

Anglesea VIC 3230

Ingoldsby House, designed by architect David Seeley, commands an enviable elevated position amongst the native ironbark's, perfectly oriented to embrace its remarkable coastal setting. Sweeping views extend across the treetops to the ocean beyond, while the home's elevated stance, architectural form and connection to the surrounding landscape create an extraordinary sense of privacy, presence and place.
Constructed from a rich palette of reclaimed timber, naturally finished sandstone and aged copper, the home possesses a warmth and authenticity rarely found in contemporary coastal residences. Salvaged axe-hewn ironbark beams, reclaimed nineteenth-century Blackbutt flooring and carefully crafted copper detailing, create a home of enduring character, where every material has been selected to weather gracefully and belong to its setting.
Across its generous two levels, the design gives a flexible living opportunity or a large family the rare combination of togetherness and independence.
The expansive upper-level living area brings together the kitchen, dining and lounge zones. This space draws the coast into the home through floor to ceiling glazing with sweeping views across Point Roadknight and the coastline beyond. A generous, sheltered deck extends the living outdoors, creating an exceptional place to entertain, unwind and take in the sweeping ocean views, the outlook is simply captivating. The master suite shares the outlook while the study offers a quiet retreat or home office.
The central kitchen connects seamlessly through glass sliding doors to a north-facing rear deck, nestled amongst the treetops and offering a sheltered setting immersed in the surrounding natural landscape.
Downstairs, a generous second living area with custom built- in cabinetry incorporating an integrated kitchenette, creates a relaxed and self-contained retreat, opening to further outdoor spaces amongst the trees. Four generous bedrooms and two bathrooms provide exceptional accommodation on this level, creating a wonderfully flexible guest or family zone with excellent separation from the main living areas upstairs.
Set amongst established native gardens on approximately 930sqm, the grounds feel naturally connected to the surrounding coastal landscape. Sandstone, ironbark and established planting create a series of private, sheltered spaces to sit, relax and enjoy the peaceful setting.
Practicality is woven quietly through the design, with passive and ducted climate control, quality appliances, wine cellar, lock-up single garage and outdoor shower.
From this private, beautifully considered sanctuary, Point Roadknight Beach is only moments away. Coastal walks, the sand and the sea are quite literally part of everyday life.
Architecturally significant, exceptionally crafted and undeniably rare, Ingoldsby House represents one of Anglesea's most compelling residential offerings.
