Melrose Malmsbury has a most fascinating story to tell. From extremely humble beginnings as a simple 1860s bluestone cottage and renovation rescue, the immaculate restoration and extension of the home, with its exquisitely curated garden developed from a horse paddock, evolved Melrose into a tranquil retreat.
The cottage renovation, which includes a most inspired rendered brick extension has embraced a truly beautiful home of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas designed and curated to be seasonally sensitive to cosy winters and cool summers. And the serene centrepiece is the enclosed courtyard with a tranquil pond, original flagstone pavers, Turkish windows and a designer metal pergola to support a fruiting grapevine and flowering fragrant jasmine – accessed through bi-fold doors on one side and French doors on the other, integrating the garden with the house.
Within the cottage, the attention to detail is second to none with the authentic original features becoming the stimulus for an eclectic seamless blend of new and repurposed architectural features, with recycled materials including wide brushbox floorboards throughout and doors from Calcutta and Pondicherry with matching crafted bespoke windows. And modern-day influences abound with high ceilings, including the original timber-lined ceilings in the bluestone cottage, and under-floor heating throughout the extension and in both bathrooms.
