The Kyneton home of television personality Tonia Todman is up for sale.
Magnificently set within beautifully landscaped garden surroundings on 10 acres, this elegantly reimagined Edwardian estate encapsulates all the character and quality synonymous with the era, with sought-after modern ease.
Old and new shows through the original 1910 part of the home, with soaring ceilings, stunning leadlight and baltic pine floors exuding the grace and refinement of the original era before leading to the luxurious new family spaces.
Beyond established English-style gardens, you are greeted by the grand return veranda offering panoramic views and where each room enjoys private access to take in the serenity of its surroundings.
The new grand entrance instantly captivates with original hand-made herringbone brick floors and high ceilings, opening via glass doors to the home office and library where a Chimenea Phillippe fireplace creates undeniable warmth.
Walk on into the grand family and entertainer’s domain with a second Chimenea Phillippe and a gourmet kitchen beneath cathedral ceilings.
Natural light and spaciousness abound, with generous Carrara marble surfaces, a suite of quality appliances, including a 1200mm Artusi cooker, a walk-in pantry and butler’s domain.
The sumptuous full-width master suite is an indulgent space and retreat, with a luxe walk-in robe and ensuite with double marble-top vanity, large walk-in shower and separate toilet.
An additional three spacious bedrooms with built-in robes are served by a large contemporary bathroom with deep free-standing bath and a walk-in shower, two powder rooms and a large laundry with an adjoining mudroom.
Highbank is sited spectacularly where the original stone Highbank homestead stood from 1848.
Two deep lead water bores, 75,000 litre water storage, proven fertile soil and a large yabby-filled dam add to the picture plus a one-bedroom self-contained separate cottage with its own driveway and garden also offer an earning potential.
Inspections strictly by private appointment only.
