An Edwardian time capsule house is for sale in Daylesford, Victoria, and it’s sure to transport you into a bygone era.
The Camp Street Manse was built in 1903 as a home for the minister of St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, which is right next door.
A century later, it was bought by a local who was passionate about preserving the building’s history. They paid $1,140,000 for the home in 2004 – a substantial sum at the time.
Despite that, the owners never lived in the property in their 21 years of tenure.
It’s currently set up as a boutique bed and breakfast with five separate suites – and the guesthouse has proved popular with history buffs.
Exquisite Edwardian architecture and some of Daylesford's best views are at the heart of The Manse, currently run as a boutique accommodation residence on 0.24 Ha (approx.) of land.
Explore the exciting options that come with such a magnificent house and "substantial land".
Continue operating the popular tourist destination, transform it into Daylesford's finest private home, or think about creating new indulgence in the large rear garden (STCA).
Standing tall on the high side of Camp Street, this elegant landmark offers five guest suites each with their own bathroom and fine craftsmanship from a golden era.
Own a piece of Daylesford's history, built for St Andrew's Presbyterian Church in 1903 and adorned with a twin-gabled exterior, portico entry, Arts and Crafts fireplace surrounds, stained-glass doors and windows, and timber ceilings and floors.
Each suite has a freestanding bath and views, there's a garden spa, communal facilities, an office, and a balcony to take in town and rural vistas.
An easy walk to Vincent Street's shops and cafes,
around the corner from Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens and Convent Gallery.
Now, the Manse is back on the market with a guide price of $2.1 million to $2.3 million.
Agent Kim McQueen from McQueen Real Estate says properties of this calibre rarely come up in the local market.
7 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 5 parking spaces, on 2,400m²
