A true ‘home of significance’, Willunga House has presided over the comings and goings in the heart of Willunga for some 165 years and this mansion would surely be bursting at the seams with stories of grandeur and intrigue!
Built in 1850 and owned by the Malpas family for some 130 years. This stately manor was originally the Willunga General Store and Post Office and was a perfect stop off point for the horse and coach drivers between Adelaide and Victor Harbor.
In more recent years it has variously been used as a coffee house, guest house and very upmarket Bed & Breakfast; but could easily make a stately home of significance for the right family in the future.
Currently disposed as six bedrooms and six bathrooms with several spacious living areas. The home is complete with many quality and character features including polished timber floors, some original slate floors, high and ornate ceilings, classic timber mouldings, hallway arches and large rooms. The home is very well maintained and many aspects have been modernised by the current owners including solar panels, air conditioning, upgraded bathrooms, superbly appointed kitchens and numerous other modern elements – all very tasteful in an attempt to maintain the full integrity of the original structure.
Set beautifully within a fully landscaped garden including an amazing private ‘walled’ courtyard garden, a spectacular in ground swimming pool, several lawned areas, spring flowers, interesting ground cover, well established fruit trees and a producing veggie patch. Set on an allotment of some 1366 square metres with rear access and garaging from Kell Street and a broad and inviting frontage to St Peters Terrace.
The location here in the township of Willunga reflects a semi-rural environment in a friendly and caring community and within an hour of the CBD of Adelaide – a fabulous place to live, work, raise your family and enjoy life’s many pleasures!
