15 Orr Street, Malmsbury, Vic 3446

To get a sense of this home, imagine sitting on the veranda overlooking the old mulberry tree in the peaceful village of Malmsbury. The handmade bricks show the quality of this 1860?s home, and the more recent extension with double glazing has been built with the same old fashioned attention to quality and detail. The original building was the residence and bank chamber of the Malmsbury branch of the Victorian Bank. Currently the home has two living areas, one with open fire place and the charm of yesteryear, the other with renovated light filled kitchen, dining and living areas with perfectly positioned windows that take in the views of the garden and surrounding countryside. The spacious bathroom is private and yet allows the most stunning view of the garden and pond while you relieve the stresses of the day in a luxurious bath. There are three bedrooms, a fourth is now a dressing room, original wide waxed floor boards, high ceilings and old world elegance.
The garden has been lovingly created around the old trees by the current owner, a horticulturist. She has created a different view from every window and the end result is a sanctuary with fruit trees, vegetable garden and a mixture of beautiful flowering plants; a garden for all seasons.
The property is on two titles, the second title holding an office space within the old converted stables with the original cobbled floors.
300 metres to the Malmsbury Railway Station, a short walk into the village past the Botanical Gardens, just over an hour from Melbourne, this is a property that needs to be seen.
