Period elegance, clever versatility & endless lifestyle appeal Claiming a beloved position seconds from the village, this dual-frontage Edwardian with a separate backyard bungalow embraces its rich history, delivers comfort from day one, and captures the lifestyle Kensington is famous for. Beyond manicured gardens and a façade showing the craft of yesteryear, interiors find the perfect balance of classical and modern. Timber wall panelling, leadlight windows, hallway fretwork, intricate pressed metal, and roses on soaring ceilings ensure character remains centre-stage, met by two substantial bedrooms, ample robe space, a master study area, and oversized bathroom made wonderfully accessible. A modernised kitchen with Westinghouse and Bosch appliances serves an open, adjoining meals area, stepping out to an alfresco space great for barbecues, evening drinks, and quiet mornings with a coffee in-hand. A backyard bungalow offers living, kitchen and bathroom spaces to complement a robe-lined, heated/cooled bedroom, ideal for visiting guests, elderly family, or teenagers after their own space. Across the main home, other highlights include ducted heating, split-system heating/cooling, durable hybrid floors, and a full-size laundry, while a double garage makes the most of rear lane frontage. Shops, cuisine, and local favourite Hardimans Hotel are joined in the village by university buses and trains reaching the city in two stops, with Kensington and Holy Rosary Primary, the new leisure centre, nature trails, and CityLink only metres away.
