"St Aubyn" (circa 1914) - Authentic 5 Acre Hills Estate

Undeniably one of the finest estates to be found in the Perth Hills, "St Aubyn's" combines all of the grace and elegance of yesteryear with the comfort and convenience of contemporary living. Nestled privately on 5 acres (potential to subdivide) of magnificently landscaped and Australiana gardens, this iconic Darlington homestead was constructed over a century ago from locally sourced stone and is reminiscent of one of the finer examples of architecture of its era often to be found in Mount Lawley. As rare as it is beautiful, "St Aubyn" offers the most discerning buyer the opportunity to experience a prestigious Darlington lifestyle.

Magnificent & historical stone homestead
4 bedroom & 3 bathroom main residence
Fully self contained one bedroom cottage
Elegant formal and informal living spaces
Luxurious master suite and dressing room
Jarrah flooring and soaring ornate ceilings
Massive studio and adjoining 3 car garage
Ancillary sheds, store rooms and orchard
Stunning landscaped 5ac with tennis court
Magnificent Perth Hills lifestyle opportunity

Named by the original owners after an area of Cornwall, "St Aubyn" retains the air of an English County manor. Sprawling lawned areas and meandering paths are interspersed with stunning established gardens of European and Australian influence and the magnificent position affords panoramic vistas to the Fremantle Coastal region on a clear day. .

The residence has been lovingly extended and renovated over the years to offer supremely comfortable living with a touch of opulence which is balanced by a warm sense of character. Both lounge rooms have beautiful open fireplaces and direct access out to the verandahs which wrap the home. Ornate ceilings and a chandelier feature in the larger of these rooms whilst the dining room has a stunning arched entrance with exposed stone work. The informal living area is no less impressive, with banks of windows which fill the kitchen and casual dining area with natural light and capture the beauty of the garden beyond. The kitchen itself is large and well designed, making it easy to cater for a crowd. It has granite bench tops, 900mm range cooker, dual ovens and an abundance of cupboards and workspace. The adjacent oversized laundry has masses of cupboards also and provides a fantastic option as an extra food preparation area if required.

The master bedroom suite is simply luxurious. Massive in size, it has a walk through dressing room, ensuite with double vanity and picture windows with crisp white plantation shutters. The minor bedrooms are also of generous size, with one of the rooms boasting a stunning free standing claw foot bath which could easily be removed to return the room to its original use.

And whilst the interior of "St Aubyn" is certain to take your breath away, there is at least as much to impress outside. The gardens are stunning yet whimsical and incorporate both formal and informal elements with great success. One can just imagine having a game of tennis on the grass court as the kids explore the pathways and babbling winter creek or play hide and seek in the gardens..there is even room for a pony should that be your fancy!

Guests will be delighted to be invited for the weekend as the one bedroom cottage allows perfect privacy for everyone and would be ideal for those with extended family or perhaps a very lucky teenager. The artist, crafts person or even the avid wood worker will also delight in the huge studio which adjoins the secure 3 car garage with its dual storage rooms. There is also two garden sheds for machinery and tools and the original stables which are currently being used as a wood store but could be easily returned to their former glory.

This prestigious property is now looking for new owners to share in its illustrious past and to create a new chapter in its exciting future, With a host of other bonus extras including monitored alarm system, ducted reverse cycle air conditioning and the potential to sub divide part of the huge 5 acre allotment, "St Aubyn" is in a class of its own.
