5 Nicholas Street, Lilydale, Vic 3140

“Winsham” is one of Lilydale’s rare period cottages offering an easy, connected lifestyle in a central locale, more space than you might expect and all the charm of its heritage days. From the picket fence to the high-pitched roofline, the home's rich character is immediately evident outside and continues inside with alluring details. Soaring ceilings with roses, Baltic Pine floors, ornate fireplaces, original panelling and feature windows and doors echo the warmth of yesteryear.

Over time the footprint has been extended and today it offers a family-friendly layout with three well-sized bedrooms, a study or petite fourth bedroom, a spacious open living area and kitchen, bathroom, second toilet, and laundry. The kitchen includes a dishwasher and a freestanding oven set within the old hearth, while down the hall, the bathroom is beautifully defined by traditional colours.

Outdoor living is enhanced by the covered deck and private backyard that wraps around the house to meet the front garden, creating a low-maintenance area for entertaining and everyday moments. A single garage provides a versatile space for all-weather entertaining or car accommodation and is complemented by the single carport.

While the home is move-in ready, it would benefit from a little TLC in places, and a more in-depth renovation could enhance its olde-world style or provide an opportunity to add a modern touch. Whatever plans you make, “Winsham” promises a world of opportunity.
