A sublime botanic setting high-side from the road sets the scene for the excellence that is 'Cheddington'. Built C1892, the beautiful home takes pride-of-place on an unprecedented 5124sqm, comprising three lots and three titles. Brimming with history and designed by renowned architect John Horbury Hunt, the home was the second residence to be built in Warrawee and still possesses all the grandeur and the estate-like feel that it originally had.
Fenced and electric gated from the street, meander up the wide gravel circular driveway through stunning restful grounds. The placement of the home offers opportunity for savvy buyers to take advantage of the additional blocks to build two further grand residences (STCA) whilst still retaining the original home. The residence is full of warmth and appeal, completely comfortable as is, whilst offering excellent scope for a cosmetic upgrade.
Its distinctive English-style facade gives way to an expansive floorplan with gracious formal zones, casual living, a large office or 6th bedroom, flexible spaces and king-sized upper-level bedrooms. Step out to the pool, cabana with sink and bathroom, original stables that make a great storage or workshop area and the triple garage. This once-in a lifetime opportunity enjoys prime east-side convenience, steps to the station, bus, Knox Grammar, Abbotsleigh, parks and village shops.
