About this property

Chatsworth Park Cottage by Ready Set Stay - Spacious and full linen and towels

Basking in serenity on 15 picturesque acres where the country meets the coast, Chatsworth Cottage is deluxe 2-bedroom accommodation on the historic Chatsworth Park estate, 600 metres from Balnarring village and four 4-minute drive to the beach.

THE SPACE
Constructed from Hillview Quarry granite, the contemporary cottage offers a stunning space where old-world charm meets modern comfort.

Gazing out across the resident sheep, alpacas and rolling acres to glimpses of Phillip Island in the distance, the spacious open living area with soaring ceiling, leather sofas, dining suite and flatscreen TV is complemented by a contemporary kitchenette with dishwasher, oven, microwave, gas cooktop, fridge, kettle, toaster and coffee-pod machine.

Vast sliding glass doors open to a covered barbecue patio with a 6-seater alfresco dining set. A queen bedroom and a second queen bedroom with bunk beds (2 x single) are serviced by a modern bathroom with a walk-in slate rain shower, hydronic heating, and split-system air conditioning.

A short drive to wineries, breweries, surf breaks, horse-riding trails and other coastal spoils, the cottage offers an idyllic seaside escape just over an hour from Melbourne.

The house is in a residential street with surrounding permanent tenants, so we only rent to mature guests who will remain respectful to our neighbours. The house is to be used for relaxation-style holidaying; loud parties are prohibited.

A Stay in the Countryside.
The cottage has been beautifully built and, with its tasteful combination of brick and stone, it nestles sympathetically into the surrounding countryside. It was well-fenced with plenty of surrounding lawn, so it is ideal for anyone who has a pet accompanying them. Balnarring village is in walking distance for the fit, has an excellent IGA supermarket and also has the Red Hill Bakery, which is first class. Unfortunately, the hydronic heating control in the cottage proved temperamental; on the plus side, there is a split system ac. which proved an adequate substitute. In all, we had a peaceful and relaxing stay and would certainly like to revisit.
