Overview

'Coalbrook House' A Grand Hills Residence of Rare Scale and Beauty in Aldgate's Dress Circle.

Wrapped in the magic of its sweeping, storybook 1.3-acre parcel, this grand C1910 Federation homestead carries itself with the rare grace, stature and old-world beauty that only Aldgate's coveted dress circle can conjure.

Following a vast frontage, this imposing residence spreads its wings wide, opening to treetop views and enchanting grounds that unfurl in every direction, best savoured from the far-reaching rear deck.

A substantial extension more than doubled the original footprint, executed so sympathetically that it is hard to know where the original cottage ends and the rest of this solar-powered home begins.

The social, expansive heart of this 2015-renovated home is the central kitchen featuring deep blue hues, shaker-style profile cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, breakfast bar, stone benchtops, and a 900mm freestanding oven.

A procession of living zones interconnect at the kitchen's feet, including a casual dining zone, living room, and formal lounge/dining area, each showcasing the heavenly high ceilings and timber floors that define this gracious, time-honoured home.

The newer section houses a bedroom, a study or fifth bedroom, and a bathroom with artisan tile floors and a semi-freestanding bath, situated far from the original cottage wing which contains three bedrooms, a retreat, and a bathroom.

The original cottage wing adds flexibility to the floorplan, with clear potential to function as a self-contained base for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or independent young adults who need their own space without leaving home altogether.

Outside, more than 150sqm of verandah and deck wraps the home in inviting spaces to gather, while the flat grassed expanses, established gardens, and a mix of fruit and ornamental trees give the grounds a rare softness and scale, balancing open space with storybook beauty.

Practicalities are well addressed with a powered shed, three driveways, and full vehicle access around the grounds, ensuring family members or guests can come and go via multiple entry points without disrupting the rhythm of the home.

Located near enough to Aldgate for a quick coffee, close to Stirling for all other amenities, and elevated enough to feel like a true retreat, this grand Hills home offers rare stature, timeless beauty, and magical breathing room in one of the village's most coveted pockets.
