Summary:
Tucked away in the heart of Richmond, 'Banstead Cottage' is a beautifully reimagined two bedroom home offering space, privacy and an enviable inner Melbourne lifestyle.

The Space:
Behind its distinctive period façade, the home opens into a surprisingly contemporary interior, where warm timber floors, natural light and lush greenery create a relaxed and welcoming place to settle in. Designed across two levels, there is plenty of room to spread out, making Banstead Cottage particularly well suited to small families, corporate travellers and guests enjoying a longer stay in Melbourne.

At the heart of the home is the generous open plan kitchen and living area. Bright and wonderfully easy to live in, the kitchen centres around an oversized island with casual bar seating, flowing directly into the adjoining lounge and out through bifold doors towards the garden beyond.

Surrounded by tropical planting, the broad timber deck provides a lovely spot for morning coffee, alfresco lunches or a quiet evening at home, with a barbecue and retractable awning making the space equally inviting throughout the warmer months.

Two comfortable bedrooms are arranged across the home, including a light filled principal bedroom upstairs with its own ensuite. A second contemporary bathroom includes both a freestanding bath and separate shower, offering welcome practicality for families and groups travelling together.

For those combining work with their stay, a dedicated home office provides an excellent work from home set up, while generous living spaces and a fully equipped kitchen make the property particularly comfortable for extended stays.

Location

One of Banstead Cottage's greatest luxuries is its location.

Set in Richmond, guests have some of Melbourne's best loved dining, shopping and café precincts close at hand, with both Bridge Road and Church Street easily accessible. From neighbourhood coffee spots and casual dining to restaurants, bars, boutiques and everyday essentials, this is an exceptionally easy part of Melbourne in which to settle into local life.

Excellent public transport makes exploring further afield simple, with nearby trams providing direct connections towards the Melbourne CBD, South Yarra and surrounding inner city neighbourhoods, while train services offer another convenient option for travelling across Melbourne.

The location is particularly appealing for guests visiting for Melbourne's major sporting and cultural calendar, with the MCG, Melbourne Park and the wider sporting precinct readily accessible. The CBD is also only a short journey away, allowing guests to enjoy the convenience of central Melbourne without sacrificing the space, privacy and outdoor living of a residential home.

Whether in Melbourne for work, relocation, an extended family visit or simply to experience the city for a little longer, Banstead Cottage offers the freedom of a private home with the best of Richmond and Melbourne within easy reach
