31 Last Street, Beechworth VIC 3747

Bridging Victorian splendor and modern-day living, Leicester House (circa 1870) is a splendid country residence representing the epitome of style and grace.

This remarkable home achieves a balance of formal grandeur and relaxed, informal living through its scale and thoughtful design, featuring polished timber flooring, 12-foot ceilings and delightful sash windows.

Two luxurious light filled bedrooms sit at the front of the property - both with decorative open fireplaces. The master suite is accessed via the home office, and enjoys a modern ensuite, leading on to a beautiful private sunroom overlooking cottage gardens.

The home office reflects the overall character of the property and has an ever efficient Nectre wood heater to keep you warm.

An inviting lounge room is conveniently located centrally and is a comfortable size with built in bookshelves and an ornate corner fireplace.

Completing the family scale are two further generous sized bedrooms - one with built in robes. They share a central bathroom with timber features.

A peaceful reading room, adjoining bedroom three, is the perfect place to while away the hours and has an external access to the enclosed verandah.

The charming kitchen enjoys a country-style hearth with an IXL stove, plus gas and electric cooking, plenty of bench space and storage with walk in pantry. A second living area adjoins the kitchen for the expanding family and provides direct access outside via French doors.

Outside established gardens provide an idyllic place to entertain friends and family with long lunches, cricket games and shade under groves of silver birch and a magnificent oak.

A shed at the rear houses your gardening tools and implements. It has the convenience of an additional toilet and washroom. There is even an underground cellar, perfect for the avid wine collector.

All in all, this is a truly remarkable home and one that forms an integral part of Beechworth's rich history.
