Armitage Estate
Beaconsfield, VIC, Australia
The Space
Built in 1879, this historic estate is recognised by the National Trust of Victoria. ​Constructed with all the grandeur and elegance of the era, this stuccoed hipped roof Italianate-style mansion stretches across a sprawling 16.19ha, including five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a pool, a grass tennis court, stables and established gardens. The grand feature of this location is the central parapeted tower which offers sweeping views of the estate.
From the return cast iron verandah, to the 4m-high soaring ceilings and the exquisitely crafted hallway this location makes an impactful first impression with its immaculately preserved period features. Throughout the sprawling home, intricate details of a bygone era remain including ornate paintwork and cornicing, grand archways, and awe-inspiring chandeliers. The ground floor features formal and informal living, dining and kitchen areas, a billiards room, an office, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a laundry. The first floor offers a spacious master suite with ensuite and balcony, plus two additional rooms. There is also a large two-storey service wing at the rear, along with a converted two-level stable block.
Situated on the hilltop, the house faces the sweeping circular carriage drive with a central fountain. Surrounded by mature trees and lush open spaces, the pool is guarded by grand statues and the classic grass tennis court is a step back in time. This location retains a sense of wonderment, elegance and history providing endless options for period productions, photoshoots or exclusive events.
