Imagine a private lifestyle in an idyllic setting in the exclusive Edna Walling Estate of Bickleigh Vale only 5 minutes drive from Mooroolbark station. Bena Lodge epitomizes Edna Walling’s unique and renowned signature style. Nestled in an acre of established and low maintenance gardens, this gracious and charming home, designed and originally built by Edna Walling, has been sympathetically extended to retain the original style while providing substantial and spacious living areas.
A garden vista is enjoyed from every room through unique timber sash and dormer windows. French doors open to original flagstone patios and paths. Charming original internal doors, stone fireplaces, exposed beams, slate and superb timber flooring and stair banisters herald Edna Walling’s vision.
Bena Lodge’s central modernised country kitchen provides a heart for the home, which has three distinct living areas, a mezzanine, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study and an extravagantly sized laundry. The fireplaces and ducted heating ensure warmth and cosiness. The gardens include an inground pool, a two car garage and an original garden work-shop (affectionately called The Possum Shed).
