Yarra Ranges Presents - 17 Bickleigh Vale Road, Mooroolbark

'Badgers Wood'
Embraced by the storied landscape of Bickleigh Vale, 'Badgers Wood', set on approximately 3,171sqm, is a piece of Edna Walling's legacy. A charming Devon-inspired cottage, it was built in 1937, designed to blend with the lush surroundings. Known for her horticulture artistry, Walling crafted this picturesque village, building her own cottage here and lending her touch to other properties in the area, creating a true haven for garden lovers.
'Badgers Wood' delights with its enchanting features, including low-set windows that draw the gardens indoors at every opportunity. Two lounge rooms and a dining area accented with stone fireplaces, gabled ceilings and exposed beams charm inside, with French doors opening directly to the gardens.
A modern farmhouse kitchen is the heart of the home, hosting a 900mm upright cooker, a copper rangehood, a dishwasher, timber benchtops and an accompanying meals area that offers garden views at eye level.
Well-accommodating, the home has five bedrooms and two bathrooms, the main bedroom boasting an ensuite and its very-own balcony.
Outside, the gardens come to life like a series of painted scenes, each one showcasing Walling's touch, where light, shade and colour blend beautifully. A covered barbeque area and a local stone-surrounded inground swimming pool with a spa, crown these artistic grounds.
Additional features that complement the property include a laundry with toilet access, a study nook with a built-in desk, ducted heating, substantial built-in cabinetry, vegetable gardens, a shed and a double carport.
Significant trees include a Golden Elm, Weeping Elm, Crab Apples and Hawthorns.
