The time has come for this remarkable Merivale home affectionately named ‘Damsels’ to find her next custodian. The owners are genuinely motivated and invite all offers for consideration.
Originally crafted in 1926 by acclaimed architect Edward England as his own residence, this significant home has been carefully held, restored and strengthened for the future. Now, after many years in the same ownership, its time for beautiful ‘Damsels’ next chapter to begin.
Set on an impressive 1,518 sqm, the scale and versatility of this grand property are increasingly difficult to find. Multiple living areas extend across a broad east-to-west footprint, while established grounds, expansive lawns and a tennis court provide plenty of space for family life, entertaining and recreation.
Upstairs, five or six generous bedrooms and flexible spaces can be configured to suit the needs of the next family. The spacious primary suite features dual walk-in robes and an ensuite, while additional rooms provide options for bedrooms, studies, retreats or further living. Downstairs you are spoilt for spaces to entertain, lounge, dine or retreat with doors opening out onto the sun drenched northwest facing decks for private outdoor living.
An extraordinary restoration and strengthening programme has been undertaken with a clear commitment to preserving the home’s architectural integrity and long-term future. Original masonry has been carefully deconstructed and reinstated where possible, heritage detailing has been preserved, and specialist craftspeople worked alongside architects and engineers to retain the character and authenticity of this important home while incorporating extensive structural improvements.
Its Merivale position completes the picture, with leading schools, Merivale Village, Hagley Park and the central city all within easy reach. Few properties offer this combination of scale, history, flexibility and location.
Come and experience the opportunity, with Open Homes through Spring – the time is now and our vendors are ready to move forward and invite the market to respond.

Could this beautiful Damsel be a part of your next chapter?
