55 English Street

Extending a rare invitation to embrace a slower, more soulful country lifestyle, this captivating 1920s residence offers a refined escape perfectly suited to city tree changers and horse lovers alike. Sitting within a glorious just over one acre allotment, capturing far-reaching views, this beautifully preserved three-bedroom home is rich in possibility. It boasts a private cottage with bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette, providing flexibility for guests, extended family or a boutique B&B income, alongside exciting potential for future subdivision (STCA). Lying at the heart of a romantic garden designed to be enjoyed rather than laboured over, a graceful veranda reveals timeless interiors with exquisite period detail showcased throughout. From intricate surrounds adorning open fireplaces and bespoke cabinetry to delightfully unexpected touches, the master bedroom, complete with walk-in robe and ensuite, includes a whimsical narrow door leading directly to the veranda. Soaring ceilings, leadlight windows, timber panelling and original floorboards, all contribute to the sense of enduring craftsmanship. Enveloped in the richness of original timber panelling and focused on a fireplace with wood heater, the serene lounge room offers a warm and character-filled haven. Equally lovely, host guests in the dining room in the glow of the open fire or open French doors to the veranda, providing relaxed summer living. At the heart of daily life, the kitchen is both welcoming and wonderfully functional, enjoying a magnificent leafy view across the town to the Dandenong Ranges. Traditional proportions allow for casual dining, and along with a gorgeous original wood stove, earn this space its country kitchen title. Bosch appliances including induction cooking, self-cleaning oven and dishwasher and abundant storage, will appeal to modern families. Thoughtfully designed and absolutely beautiful, the garden feels lush and established while remaining perfectly easy to maintain. Wide, grassy spaces and practical infrastructure including generous 40 000lt water storage with automatic electric pumps further support the garden's low-maintenance appeal. Providing a focal point for summer, a sparkling swimming pool is surrounded by paved entertaining area, while an expansive covered firepit area is perfect for gatherings. Extensive shedding includes 9m x 6m (approx.) work shed, garden shed and four-bay carport with remote doors. For those with a passion for horses, the inclusion of a tack room, round yard and loose box completes the lifestyle offering. Modern inclusions and updates have been carefully introduced including classic updates to the ensuite and family bathrooms along with efficient gas ducted heating, split systems, ducted vacuum and under-house storage room or cellar. 28 solar panels and 8.5kW inverter feed back to the grid generating credits and 6.5kW generator ensures continuous power to the house, cottage and shedding. Despite its peaceful setting, the property remains closely connected to local amenities. Seville Primary School and the township's cafés, shops and essentials are within easy walking distance, while the Warburton Trail, Seville Pony Club and transport links to Lilydale are all nearby.
