As you drive up Dorset lane you are met with a striking row of ornamental pears and a formal conifer hedge making it impossible not to feel a growing anticipation as to what may lie behind this imposing entrance. The anticipation builds as the curving driveway reveals a delightful circa 1920′s sandstone home of beauty and proportion nestled in just under 2 acres of landscaped garden.
Timeless with a modern take, the home has undergone various renovations and extensions over the years and every last facet has been meticulously finished with no expense spared, from the lofty ceilings with their ornate pendant lighting, to the stunning conservatory overlooking serene green vistas below.
The portico entrance welcomes you through to the stunning living area. A breathtaking statement in contemporary styling and design: old meets new, blending harmoniously to create a stylish statement and the perfect venue to entertain family and friends.
The kitchen conveniently adjoins the living area and offers an abundance of storage together with a large walk-in pantry and access through the laundry to the pergola.
The hallway leads to the home’s three spacious bedrooms, each with French doors; bedroom 3 has its own external access whilst the main bedroom and bedroom 2 have direct access to the conservatory.
All the bedrooms are serviced by the two spacious and contemporary bathrooms.
The library and dressing room adjoin the main bedroom. The library features floor to ceiling timber shelving and a Masport wood heater to create the perfect environment to read or study in peace.
Additional features include: Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, Regency slow combustion heater and surround sound through the living room and hallway. A double carport, 7.5 x 6.1m shed, substantial cement rainwater tank and two street frontages offer flexibility and practicality to this unique property.
Dorset House exudes a style synonymous with French country houses. The beautiful garden will surprise and enchant: stone walls and an extensive selection of established native and exotic trees and shrubs accent the flair and precision of the garden’s design that features both formal and informal settings. An elevated terrace is ideal for entertaining and provides unrestricted views of the iconic and historic Oakbank Racecourse.
With its expansive spaces, great privacy, stunning gardens and commanding position… it is possible to imagine that you are amidst the rolling hills of the French countryside.
Bringing together the best parts of a country lifestyle that is just minutes to the freeway access, this charming home and garden is magnificent in every sense of the word. Unique, stylish and refined, it is truly a world class offering.
