The much admired “Beaufort Manor” is a wonderful heritage home that was built in 1876 and has been beautifully restored and renovated by the current owners.
Located on approximately 2855m2 of land in a prominent position in the main street of Yea, the property is not only a much-loved home, but is currently operating as a fully licensed function/wedding reception center with a full commercial kitchen and seating in the grand ballroom for up to 100 patrons.
The impressive foyer with reception area and bar leads the way into the two formal lounge areas with bay window and beautiful chandeliers and leadlight. Enter the “Grand Ballroom” where there is enough space for 100 seated guests and a dance floor sits hidden under the carpet until required. This space exudes all the splendor and romance of a bygone era with high ceilings, ceiling roses and chandeliers, and French doors lead into a beautifully landscaped and maintained garden area.
The huge commercial kitchen lies adjacent, fitted with all the appliances to cater for over 100 guests.
“Tillys Bar” is a cosy and comfortable resting and lounge area with open fire to sit down with a drink or two.
At the top of the grand staircase is a very comfortable spacious 2 bedroom residence with beautiful character features, and off the pretty ground floor courtyard a totally separate 2 bedroom unit, currently used as a B&B or convenient accommodation for the bride.
Heating and cooling is provided throughout the property by 6 R/C Air conditioners
A huge 6 car garage with workshop and hoist is an added feature offered for enthusiasts.
The property is set in the Heritage precinct and borders on the Great Victorian Rail Trail and Yea Public Gardens and is just a short walk from the shopping centre.
Zoning as GRZ1 & C1Z allows for retention of the current business or the potential of a variety of commercial uses (STCA)
This superb character home and business is the pride of the Yea township. Over it’s proud history it has been leased to Ivanhoe Grammar during the war when they were forced to evacuate their city location, been a boarding house for returned soldiers, a restaurant, and an antique shop. You can choose to live in this home as a magnificent and imposing heritage home or choose to capitalize on the existing business or one of the many alternative business opportunities it lends itself to.
