26 Barkly Street, Glenlyon VIC 3461

Shaded by the canopy of Glenlyon’s Avenue of Honour is Trevelyn: a late Victorian villa originally constructed in 1888 as the town’s police station and residence, and now an enriched and exciting family home.

Poised on a coveted double block of 3,220 sqm approx. with a second frontage to Morton Street, there is a delightful narrative about the home: the 3 king-size bedrooms each have built in robe storage, exquisite original fire places and enviably 12 foot ceilings. The central living room features French doors to the north facing patio and the kitchen/ dining area is flawlessly “country style”, complete with an original IXL wood stove for auxiliary heating and cooking.

But the home’s inherent appeal is as much about the outside as inside:

Capitalizing on the northern orientation, the planned symmetry of the raised parterre kitchen garden designed by Tim Pilgrim (as featured in the latest Country Style magazine) is framed by espaliered fruit trees and a stunning perennial border, and finished with a stone pizza oven to ensure fresh produce from the garden can easily be enjoyed. Adjacent is a stunning walled secret garden with a walkway of linden trees and an alfresco dining area shaded by a grove of silver birch trees – both are a joy to behold. The block is fully irrigated by a bore, making the prospect of a self-sustaining lifestyle possible.

A secondary ‘forest-style’ garden fronting Morton Street includes an abundance of mature pencil pines, fruit, olive, poplar, and fir trees. This lot has the potential for subdivision or a dual occupancy (STCA).

Additional extras include:
• Generous double block with a 40 metre street frontage
• Gravelled driveway and forecourt easily accommodating 6 vehicles
• Hydronic heating throughout
• Original period fixtures
• Double lock up garage
• Original brick-lined well and windmill
• Auxiliary rainwater tank storage
• Chicken run or cubby house
• Pizza oven designed and built by local stonemason
• 30,000 L rainwater tank
• Bore for watering the garden and as a second household water source
• Full irrigation across the acre
• Outdoor lighting plan
• Instant gas hot water

Having been part of the local landscape for well over a century, Trevelyn has a bright future ahead as a country getaway, a permanent home or B&B opportunity. A short drive to Daylesford, Trentham and Kyneton whilst only a short stroll to local attractions such as the landmark General Store, Loddon River walk and the Mineral Springs Recreation Reserve.
