A handsome and substantial, 1930’s double-fronted detached house extending to 2211 sqft over two floors, occupying a double plot with a large south-west facing rear gardens and parking. Located towards the Mitcham’s Corner end of Gilbert Road.
Melbourne House is a rare and individual, 1930’s detached residence with a grand symmetrical façade, set back from the road behind broad frontage, boasting extensive grounds, garaging and parking, yards from Chesterton Community College.
The property has been well-cared for and is presented in excellent condition throughout. The property was extended twice in the 1970’s and offers scope for further expansion, remodelling and sympathetic modernisation.
This home is entered through a part-glazed arched door under a brick triple-arched detail and into a porch, which in turns opens to the welcoming reception hall with parquet flooring and an impressive oak Arts and Crafts staircase leading to the first-floor level. A cloakroom and separate WC are located off this entrance space. There are three large reception rooms, which include a bright and airy dual-aspect living room, a formal dining room and a study/sitting room. Both the living room and dining room provide access to the rear garden. There is a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room requiring modernisation, which has a walk-in pantry and access to the outside.
Upstairs, the impressive main landing area leads to three spacious double bedrooms. An inner landing provides access to the principal bedroom, bedroom five, the bathroom, shower room and a toilet. This whole area in total, with careful thought, can be reconfigured to make one impressive principal bedroom suite.
Outside, a generous driveway leads to a brick-built garage. Gardens to the front and rear are beautifully maintained and established. The broad rear garden has a south-west facing aspect, terrace and is predominately laid to lawn with various mature trees and shrubs. There is ample space to reinstate a large vegetable plot/kitchen garden behind formal gardens.
The property is fitted with solar PV panels to the rear roof.
