Ascot VIC 3551

Set well back on the lot, approximately 42 metres from the 20 metre front boundary a new history beckons. Build your dream home with exquisite guest house or B & B, or subdivide the front and reside quietly in your own country manor, secluded from the rest of the world; the choices are a plenty.
The steep roof and symmetrical front with centred front door are typical of French provincial architecture dating back to the 1600's.
Stepping inside, this warm and inviting residence blends the old and the new, rustic charm with a modern twist. The exposed brick and timbers works effortlessly with all the modern conveniences to create a cosy and practical residence.
Central to the lower level of the residence is the combined kitchen, dining and lounge space. Stainless steel appliances merge harmoniously with industrialised light fittings and the naturally exposed interior. The main bedroom to the rear features a timber mantled fire, a centred door provides access to the paved and covered pergola.
Rounding off the bottom floor is the all in one bathroom and laundry, a modern washhouse and a clever use of space.
Upstairs is a second sitting space, a study/office station and bedroom two. The strong European influence again evident in presentation; single beds set either side of the centralised window beginning at the floor, rising to meet the raking ceiling.
Idyllic grounds with natural alfresco and in ground pool surround, bringing country manor to suburbia. Flora of all descriptions flourish in the fertile soils once used for an olive grove and medicinal gardens.
The rear corner is home to a converted storage space with mezzanine level, the back half a detached spacious third bedroom.
History always beckons, what once was, now is and could be that lifestyle change we all dream of; continue the vision already envisaged!
