Summary: Ellan Vannin: A Grand Original With A Story And A Future

Description: Built circa 1921 and held by the same family for 105 years, Ellan Vannin is a home of rare presence and provenance. Commissioned by local businessman Bernard Harrop for his growing household, this solid double-brick Californian Bungalow was crafted with permanence in mind. A century on, that sense of substance, scale and significance remains unmistakable. The name Ellan Vannin, the Manx word for the Isle of Man, honours the heritage of Bernard's mother-in-law Jane. Across four generations, the home has been carefully cared for, creating a residence where history is not staged, but genuinely lived. Set on a quiet, tree-lined corner allotment of approximately 515 square metres, the home is rich in original detail and filled with proportions rarely found today. Ornate plaster ceilings, soaring ceiling heights, original leadlight windows, timber panelling and elegant chandeliers form an exceptional framework for contemporary transformation, while retaining the character and craftsmanship that make it so compelling. A wide entrance hall is flanked by a palatial formal dining room with a bay window and a gracious lounge that flows through to a versatile sitting or meals zone. The kitchen is substantial and ready for reinvention, offering the space and scope to design something truly special. The main bedroom opens directly to the north-facing front verandah, creating a wonderful connection to light and garden outlook. A second bedroom and central bathroom complete the ground level. Upstairs, a third bedroom is preceded by a sitting room or study, providing a quiet retreat, hobby room or home office. A rear sunroom and laundry extend the footprint and link to the backyard. Side-street access leads to a large lock-up garage with adjoining carport, both with remote-controlled access. Additional features include Brivis ducted heating, Fujitsu split-system cooling, an alarm system and automated drip irrigation. Bernard Harrop's legacy remains woven into the neighbourhood through Harrop's Corner at Carlisle and Chapel Streets and the establishment of Alma Village, now just a short walk away. Trams, buses, Windsor Station, Chapel Street, Alma Park, Albert Park and the beach all sit within easy reach. Grand, flexible and rich in story, Ellan Vannin is ready for its next chapter.
