3 Bedroom Freestanding For Sale in Melville

Uniquely Rustic. Rich in History. Bubbling with Character.
One of Melville’s older homes, and quite possibly one of its most intriguing.
A turret, an enchanted garden, a wrap-around veranda, and a corrugated splash pool. Add a generous cottage to the mix, and you have a home with all the makings of a bohemian farmhouse, right in the heart of beautiful Melville.
The wrap-around veranda sets the tone, connecting the formal lounge and TV room to the outdoors and giving the home that wonderfully unhurried, old-world feel.
The large kitchen doubles as a dining room, with a separate scullery keeping the practicalities tucked away. There’s also a separate utility room that rather conveniently identifies as a pantry.
And then there’s the turret.
A study, a work-from-home hideaway, a creative studio, or a crafts room—whatever your imagination calls for, this space has a personality all its own.
The main residence offers three bedrooms with built-in cupboards and two bathrooms. Two bedrooms open onto the wrap-around veranda, while the main bedroom has its own private connection to the back garden, with a veranda overlooking the pool area.
Outside, the garden adds another layer of magic, with leafy corners, an inviting sense of privacy and that wonderfully unconventional corrugated splash pool.
But wait, there’s a cottage. And it has a story of its own.
Currently doubling as a workshop and guest suite — yes, both — this is no ordinary garden cottage. It offers a formal lounge, bedroom, bathroom, galley kitchen, and dining room.
There are choices here. Incorporate the cottage into the main residence and create a generously proportioned family home or retain its independence and explore the income-generating possibilities. Either way, the extra space opens a world of opportunity.
Covered off-street parking accommodates two vehicles, with additional off-street parking for several more.
A home with history in its bones, character in every corner, and a distinctly bohemian spirit. Not cookie-cutter, not conventional, and certainly not short on personality.
A little piece of old Melville for those who appreciate the beauty of a home that marches to its own drum.
