'Chatsworth House', hereditary seat of the Dukes of Devonshire, is one of Britain's grandest stately homes. We don't know whether Chatsworth in Burwood ever played host to any dukes, but this landmark property offers a unique opportunity to restore one of the districts Federation treasures to its former glory, elegance & grandeur.
Raine & Horne Concord's Roberto Blanco, who is marketing the property, said that the house is situated in one of Burwood's most coveted enclaves & is set on a majestic 1272 square metres, with an impressive 24 metre frontage (approx).
Chatsworth has magnificent potential to be recreated as a Federation masterpiece, Roberto said.
The wealth of outstanding period features include slate roof with original terra cotta spines, several verandas with tessellated tiles, leadlight windows, highly ornate 12 foot ceilings & a spectacular hall arch.
Generous proportions characterise the flexible floorplan configuration with formal entrance hall, lounge & separate formal dining, 5 bedrooms, office/study, original kitchen/scullery & bathroom, laundry & ample utility space.
The grounds, which include a double lock-up garage, have potential for extensive, inspired landscaping in harmony with the period architecture, with space for courtyards, decks pergolas and a pool, making it a wonderful setting for both formal & informal entertaining.
This unpolished gem is close to shops, leading local schools, both state & independent, as well as bus & rail transport.
