"Weardale" Immaculate Bendigo home with rich history

 ‘Weardale’ Immaculate Bendigo home with rich history 

Built in 1903, ‘Weardale’ was designed by visionary Bendigo architect William Beebe. The four-bedroom home has been meticulously renovated in recent years showcasing the grandeur and elegance of the historic home.

Stepping inside, the grandeur and warmth of the original home is immediately felt with its high, pressed metal ceilings, baltic pine floors and large rooms. The interior has effortlessly combined historical charm with contemporary living.

 As a nod to the property's rich history, a separate sitting room features the home's original kitchen with views towards the Bendigo Cathedral. Original leadlight windows also adorn the front of the house. 

The home has only changed hands six times in its 120-year history. History experts also believe ‘Weardale’ was one of the first homes in Bendigo to have a telephone connected. 

Each of the spacious four bedrooms on the upper level features fireplaces. The master suite is a haven of luxury and comfort, including a recently renovated ensuite with a large walk-in shower, and a generous walk-in robe with custom joinery. The main bathroom has also been renovated with plenty of natural light. 

A cleverly designed, modern renovation downstairs connects the kitchen to a large dining and lounge area that flows beyond sliding glass doors to an alfresco area with a pizza oven overlooking the impressive garden. 

The kitchen boasts an array of storage options, stone benchtops, a butler's pantry and European appliances - well-appointed for home chefs everywhere.

Surrounded by lush gardens that were once part of the original Bendigo Botanical Gardens, the property has retained its heritage roses and impressive date palm tree. A restored flag pole at the front of the home also belonged to the original owners. The expansive backyard features a mini orchard with multiple fruit trees, a palatial chicken coop, a vegetable garden and a 9000-litre water tank.

The Federation-style home has ample storage, a generous pull-down attic, and plenty of space under the house with a workshop area.

Set on two titles  (approx. 948m2 and 330m2) totalling 1278m2, the property also features a large shed and a separate guest house with a kitchenette and bathroom. 

This exquisite home is in a prime location, with easy access to the Bendigo CBD and Girton Grammar. This address is a perfect opportunity to secure a historical Bendigo home that has it all.
