Historic bluestone residence by Barwon River

A mid-19th century bluestone home fronting the Barwon River has been repurposed into a stunning modern home, offering a slice of history in Winchelsea.

5 Batson Street boasts an elegant living room flowing into a sunlit conservatory with soaring ceilings and original floorboards.

French doors connect to a secure yard and fruit tree-lined path leading to the river.

The open-plan dining/kitchen area features a wood heater and modern kitchen amenities. Upstairs, attic rooms provide versatile space, while modern comforts include split-system air conditioning.

The 2.9-hectare site provides lifestyle options and a sense of serenity, and glimpses of natural encounters like native bird songs, occasional wildlife sightings like platypuses by the river.

Practical needs are met with a work shed, triple garage, and workshop. Additional features include solar panels, solar hot water, and a rainwater tank.

Buxton Highton is selling this property for an expected price of between $1.37 million to $1.5 million.
