Perfectly positioned opposite the picturesque Quarry Street Reserve Lake and just a short stroll to Trentham's vibrant village centre, 9 Lelant Street presents a rare opportunity to secure a truly unique home rich in history, character and architectural individuality.
Originally the former pattern shop of Trentham's historic Trewella Foundry, this remarkable residence was thoughtfully transformed into a home in 1995, embracing artistic design principles, sustainable building practices and an abundance of natural light. The result is a home unlike any other-warm, creative and full of personality.
Set on approximately 776m² of beautifully established gardens, the property will immediately appeal to buyers seeking something beyond the ordinary. Whether you're searching for a permanent country residence, a stylish weekend retreat or a character-filled downsizer, this home offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity.
Inside, soaring industrial-inspired raked acoustic ceilings, exposed timber beams and double-glazed windows create an impressive sense of space while celebrating the building's heritage. The light-filled living area is centred around a wood combustion fireplace, complemented by a Daikin split-system for year-round comfort, with sliding doors opening seamlessly to the surrounding gardens.
The well-appointed kitchen combines quality Miele appliances, including an induction cooktop and oven, with warm timber benchtops, offering both style and functionality.
Accommodation comprises two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom enjoys an adjoining ensuite-style bathroom with shower and separate toilet, while the second bedroom occupies the home's distinctive mezzanine level. Overlooking the living area below, this versatile space also lends itself perfectly to a library, study, artist's studio or inspiring work-from-home environment. A central bathroom services the remainder of the home.
Adding even greater flexibility, the separate second living area provides the ideal space for guests, a home office, creative pursuits or a quiet retreat.
Outside, the gardens evoke the timeless influence of Edna Walling, with mature maples, ornamental cherry trees, bamboo, fig trees and espalier apples creating beautiful seasonal colour and a series of peaceful garden rooms. Multiple sheds, woodsheds and additional storage with concrete flooring complete the property.
Steeped in local history and thoughtfully designed for modern living, this is a home with genuine soul. Opposite Quarry Street Reserve Lake and within easy walking distance of Trentham's renowned cafés, restaurants, galleries, boutiques and everyday amenities, it offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a relaxed country lifestyle in one of the town's most tightly held locations.
