Warwick House is a distinctive and characterful period home occupying a prominent position on Derby Road in the heart of historic Melbourne. Believed to date from the early nineteenth century, the property forms part of Melbourne’s long-standing commercial and residential heritage and offers an appealing blend of period charm and spacious modern living. In recent years, a one-bedroom self-contained annexe has been added to the rear of the property.

Today, Warwick House it's self provides generous and flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, with two spacious reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, three well-proportioned bedrooms, and a layout well suited to both family living and entertaining. Period features typical of properties of this era combine with later improvements to create a home that retains its historic character while offering practical modern comfort. Additionally, the property benefits from numerous pantries, storage areas, and a utility space. Original features have been carefully preserved over the years, allowing the home to retain much of the character from when it was originally built.

The self-contained annexe comprises a kitchen/diner and lounge, with stairs leading to the first-floor landing where there is a double bedroom and a shower room. The annexe benefits from its own independent heating system.

Outside - Externally, the property is enclosed to the front by wrought iron fencing and gates, which, when installed, won an award from the Melbourne Civic Society. These provide access to the front entrance of the property. Double gates to the side lead into the rear, where there is parking for up to five vehicles, access to two garages, and an outside store.

There is also access to a “secret garden”, a unique and charming space that truly needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Local builders and developers may also find the property of particular interest, as there may be potential development opportunities, subject to the necessary planning permissions being obtained.

History - Warwick House is an attractive early-19th-century property set on Derby Road in the heart of Melbourne. Originally constructed as a shop with family living accommodation, the building served the local community for many decades – including as the well-known Warren family grocery store, affectionately remembered locally as “Posh Warrens”. During the 1980s the property was divided into flats before being sympathetically refurbished and restored as a single residence in the early 1990s, retaining its character while offering modern living.
