Charming period home in Trentham with a rich history on the market for $1.1m-$1.2m

Title: Historic Trentham home, once part of a chicken farm, hits the market for $1.1m-$1.2m

A charming period home in Trentham, just an hour away from Melbourne, is now up for sale with an asking price of $1.1m-$1.2m. The historic house, built in the late 1800s, is rumored to be one of the first properties in the area and was originally part of a chicken farm.

Featuring four bedrooms, two bathrooms, multiple fireplaces, a wraparound veranda, and landscaped gardens, the house retains its original character while offering modern amenities. Keane and Co director Paul Keane describes the property as “entirely liveable” and ripe for a new owner to add their personal touch.

The house, set on a beautiful double block with colorful gardens, boasts original Baltic pine floorboards, a Bates wood-burning stove, and a claw foot bath. With the potential to be converted into an Airbnb, the property has a separate entrance for the main bedroom.

Keane expects high interest in the property from Melbourne-based buyers looking to change their lifestyle post-pandemic. The vendors, who have enjoyed the home as a weekender for 20 years, are “very realistic” with the pricing and are ready to move on to new adventures.

Located just a short walk from the town center, the house offers a peaceful retreat with easy access to local wineries and eateries. With its rich history and potential for renovation, this Trentham gem is sure to attract buyers looking for a slice of heritage in the heart of central Victoria.
