The Property

Felder Lodge is a substantial and elegant Edwardian residence offering over a century of history, architectural charm and versatile family accommodation. Constructed in 1907 for Admiral Sir Reginald Henderson, widely recognised as the founding architect of the Royal Australian Navy, the property retains a number of subtle maritime references, including original anchor motifs incorporated within its design.

In later years, the house was also home to Wing Commander John Leighton Beck of the Royal Air Force, with fascinating historical details remaining, including original butler’s bells that continue to provide a tangible link to the property's distinguished past.

The accommodation is entered via an impressive double-door entrance leading into a grand reception hall, where an elegant staircase rises to the first floor. The ground floor offers an excellent balance of formal and informal living space, including a beautifully proportioned drawing room overlooking the gardens, a comfortable sitting room, formal dining room and separate study.

A particular highlight is the impressive billiard room, featuring a striking vaulted ceiling and providing an exceptional space for entertaining and family gatherings. The kitchen/breakfast room forms the practical heart of the home and is ideally suited to modern family living.

The upper floors provide flexible accommodation extending to seven bedrooms. The principal suite occupies a substantial section of the first floor and benefits from dressing space and an en suite bathroom. A further guest suite also enjoys dressing facilities and en suite accommodation, whilst additional bedrooms are served by family bathroom facilities.

The second floor offers further bedrooms together with a spacious attic room, providing excellent flexibility for a variety of uses.

Outside

Felder Lodge is approached via a private no-through road leading to wrought iron electric gates and a sweeping carriage driveway, creating an impressive arrival.

The mature gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.25 acres and are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with established trees, shrubs and well-stocked borders. A generous south-facing terrace spans the rear elevation of the house, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining, entertaining and enjoying the surrounding gardens.

A detached garage building offers extensive parking and storage, with a self-contained annexe above comprising a sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom, creating ideal accommodation for guests, extended family or ancillary use.
