OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING AT BROCKELSBY

Sitting in an elevated position on approximately 3400m2 of flat landscaped land is Brockelsby, rich in both architectural and historical significance. Originally built in 1928 as a home, it was later utilised as a Rest Home for women and later occupied by the Bible College of Victoria. Brocklesby is architecturally and aesthetically significant as a major example of the Interwar bungalow style in the municipality expressed in a notably grander scale than a typical domestic bungalow.

It is notable for its symmetrical built form under a massive roof with gabled porticos facing the main east entry and the east and west ends. Diagonal rooms set into the returns of the cruciform roof form create additional complexity and grandeur. The east facing red brick & terra cotta tiled building has an impressive wide entry portico, bracketed gabled ends, bay windows and gabled porches. The interiors of the main rooms are also very intact with an eclectic range of high-quality timber panel details, built in cupboards, fireplace surrounds and fibrous plaster ceilings. The previous use of the building has made the layout a blank canvas, with potential for 4 or 5 bedrooms, and several living and dining area opportunities. The whole of the building, externally and internally, is of high integrity and excellent condition and is a notably comprehensive example of design themes of the Interwar period.

With the recent addition of a 9 car free standing garage or workshop awaiting you is the opportunity to put your stamp on what potentially could be the finest example of early 20th century living in the Yarra Ranges precinct.
