2 Park Lane, Birregurra, VIC

This charming and rare Victorian Gothic home was built in 1867 as a residence for the ministers of the adjacent bluestone Anglican church. Over the last 25 years the owners have progressively restored ‘The Vicarage’ with new roofing, wiring, plumbing and plastering plus Baltic pine floors and hydronic heating throughout. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large cooks’ kitchen, separate dining and family rooms plus sweeping views over the Barwon River valley and the golf course, this is an excellent family home with potential for tourist accommodation. The land covers over half an acre and includes established garden, mature trees, vegetable garden and orchard. Birregurra is still a farm based rural area with cows and chooks but has become very popular with ‘tree changers’ for its pretty village, strong local community, relaxed lifestyle and proximity to wineries and the renowned Brae restaurant. It is only 30 minutes to popular beaches such as Lorne and Aireys Inlet and 1.5 hours to Melbourne. It has daily train services to Geelong and Melbourne plus a range of retail stores and services including kindergarten and primary school, post office, police station, pharmacy, medical practice and community health centre. This historic home in a fantastic location is now for sale…this is a once in a lifetime only opportunity.
