Beaconsfield: Dive into deluxe seven-bedroom country manor with a cellar
A house presenting as a “grand” country manor outside and a luxe contemporary retreat inside is charming buyers in Melbourne’s southeast.
The home at 8 Coach House Lane, Beaconsfield, boasts an exposed aggregate circular driveway, mature gardens and multiple alfresco entertaining areas set on 4076sq m.
A swimming pool with a diving board and nearby pool house adds to the appeal.

OBrien Real Estate Berwick agent Matthew Smith said the property’s seven bedrooms each has an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe.
“If you have parents or parents-in-law staying for extended periods of time, it is perfectly set up for that,” Mr Smith said.
The current owners added the second storey and have extensively renovated since purchasing in 2017.
“The home really combines the best of two elements, modern interiors with a really classic country manor facade,” Mr Smith said.
“It is very grand as you walk around the grounds.”
He said the renovation had completely transformed the house.
“Where the wine cellar is used to be the formal dining room, they closed that in and insulated it to make the wine cellar,” he said.
Multiple formal and informal living and dining areas feature throughout, along with a study, a gym and a kitchenette upstairs.
The gym’s fitness equipment will be included in the home’s sale.
The kitchen has an integrated fridge and freezer, two ovens plus a steam oven and microwave, as well as a induction and gas cooktops.
A craft room looking out to the leafy garden could also be used as a library, home office or meeting space.
The owners have ensured the home has the capacity to host multiple guests by upgrading the gas system, installing three phase power and putting in four hot water services – meaning the seven ensuites can be used at once.
Two double garages and a carport provide plenty of space for large vehicles.
The property is a short walk to prestigious schools including Haileybury, St Francis Xavier College and Beaconhills College’s Berwick campus.
