26 Bickleigh Vale Road

Hidden deep within the heritage-listed Bickleigh Vale Village, this enchanting acre (approx. 4216m²) reveals itself slowlya winding drive beneath a canopy of seasonal trees, the hush of a no-through road, and a home that carries nearly a century of story. Known as "Sarn," and originally "The Cabin," it was once the studio of renowned landscape designer Edna Walling, designed and hand-built by her in the early 1930s within the original grounds of Sonning. What remains today is something both rare and quietly remarkable. The original studio still anchors the home, where handcrafted stonework, feature tiles placed by Walling herself, and an open fireplace speak to a time when homes were created with patience and permanence. From here, the layout unfolds with a gentle sense of evolutionan updated kitchen, flexible living and dining spaces (or a second bedroom), and upstairs to a character-rich bedroom. Exposed beams, a peaked ceiling, a study nook and attic-style storage give the upper level a sense of retreat that feels both considered and a little unexpected. Extensively renovated behind the scenes, the home has been brought into the present with new electricals, plumbing, roof, windows, flooring and more, offering a solid foundation for what comes next. The acre itself remains largely a blank canvas, dotted with hints of Walling's signature rock walls and seasonal plantings, inviting either a thoughtful landscape revival or a considered extension (STCA). Birdlife provides a constant soundtrackrosellas, parrots and currawongs moving through the rambling garden wonderland, reinforcing the sense of being tucked away, yet never isolated. A powered shed, three-phase power, a single carport and never-ending garden space add further flexibility for those with a vision. Moments from schools including Billanook College, village shops and trails, and just minutes to Mooroolbark's centre, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of Bickleigh Vale's story. "Sarn" invites you to live among history, shape the landscape, and create something truly your own in one of Mooroolbark's most treasured and tightly held pockets.
