‘Chatsworth House’, hereditary seat of the Dukes of Devonshire, is one of Britain’s grandest stately homes. We don’t know whether Chatsworth in Burwood ever played host to any dukes, but this landmark property offers a unique opportunity to restore one of the districts Federation treasures to its former glory, elegance and grandeur.
Raine and Horne Concord’s Roberto Blanco, who is marketing the property, said that the house is situated in one of Burwood’s most coveted enclaves and is set on a majestic 1272 square metres, with an impressive 24 metre frontage (approx).
Chatsworth has magnificent potential to be recreated as a Federation masterpiece, Roberto said.
The wealth of outstanding period features include slate roof with original terra cotta spines, several verandas with tessellated tiles, leadlight windows, highly ornate 12 foot ceilings and a spectacular hall arch.
Generous proportions characterise the flexible floorplan configuration with formal entrance hall, lounge and separate formal dining, 5 bedrooms, office/study, original kitchen/scullery and bathroom, laundry and ample utility space.
The grounds, which include a double lock-up garage, have potential for extensive, inspired landscaping in harmony with the period architecture, with space for courtyards, decks pergolas and a pool, making it a wonderful setting for both formal and informal entertaining.
This unpolished gem is close to shops, leading local schools, both state and independent, as well as bus and rail transport.
