Elegant character and exceptional outdoor living in Epsom

This renovated 1920s bungalow is positioned on an impressive 822m2 of land in a sought-after Epsom cul-de-sac. A practical layout, open, light-filled spaces and wonderful outdoor areas makes it the perfect home for family living and entertaining, as it has done for the current owners for many years.

Number 8 Heywood Crescent is located at the crest of the street’s gentle incline, capturing views to One Tree Hill. This picturesque Grammar-zoned neighbourhood is a short stroll from Greenwoods Corner, handy to Cornwall Park and a quick and easy drive from the airport.

The residence showcases the traditional character and charm of the era, but has been updated to modernise and expand the living spaces across one level. High ceilings, a light colour scheme, plush grey carpets and rich wooden floors are complemented by bay windows and feature light fittings, while many windows allow natural light and sun to stream in.

The large formal lounge is located off the entry foyer. This elegant space is enhanced with a curved wall of windows at the front, along with stylish drapes, white shutters, a bay window and gas fireplace. The contemporary kitchen is flanked either side by the dining area and casual living, and a breakfast bar, granite benches and high-quality appliances will impress chefs. At the end of the room, a wall of bifolds open out to the exceptional outdoor living area – where a partially covered deck, spa area and heated swimming pool are the perfect place for summer alfresco entertaining.

The grounds have been terraced to create more usable outdoor space, with stone steps leading up to a platform of level lawn that captures unobstructed views of One Tree Hill. Stone pathways have been designed to meander through the tropical landscaping and bush, creating a wonderful place for kids to play.

Back inside, two bedrooms are located down the hallway, illuminated with light via skylights and French doors, while the family bathroom has a clawfoot tub and separate shower. There are two more bedrooms and another bathroom at the front of the house, including the peaceful and luxurious master.

This well-presented property epitomises the Epsom lifestyle – an appealing blend of heritage character and fantastic outdoor living in a highly convenient location.
