03 5783 1268Historic landmark property Circa 1860.
Originally built in 1860 by noted Kilmore local Thomas de Coursey Meade Melrose Hall has, to this day, been a local landmark residence. The neo-Tudor home boasts handmade bricks, solid stone foundations and slate roof, typical of the workmanship of the era. Elevated to take advantage of the magnificent views to the Kilmore landscape, the home sits on 4.98 acres in total.
The main home offers seven bedrooms, most offering grand proportions and serviced by three bathrooms on the lower level. The renovated kitchen is adjacent to spacious breakfast room, complimenting the large formal dining room with stunning outlook to the home garden. The majestic family room at the home's centre has surely been a family hub for all those in the past who have called Melrose Hall home. The main residence also offers two light filled sunrooms, designed to take advantage of the morning or afternoon sun as well an east facing office adjacent to the home's original entrance. Below the main building are two cellars, one thought to have been the original kitchen.
The two bedroom cottage named Laurel Hill Cottage, a derivative of the early name of the Estate "Laurentum House", has been run as a B&B in the past and offers accommodation within the grounds, in close proximity to the main residence. The versatile cottage could be turned to a number of uses, such is the flexibility of the floorplan.
All within an hour's drive of Melbourne
