Maldon, Mount Alexander · 2 Bedrooms · 2 Baths · House · Equipped kitchen
Built in 1869 by the local community, Faraday School House No. 797 is a rare piece of Central Victorian history - one of only two Common Schools in Victoria constructed from locally sourced granite. Set on 2 acres, this beautifully restored property brings together remarkable architecture, a fascinating past and an unusually flexible collection of living spaces. The original schoolhouse is the heart of the property, retaining its distinctive granite construction and a wonderful sense of scale. Inside, an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area sits beneath a high cove timber ceiling, with polished Tasmanian Oak floorboards and a solid wood heater adding warmth and character. The contemporary kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with a freestanding cooker, dishwasher and generous storage, while insulation and timber blinds provide modern comfort. French doors open to a substantial alfresco area enveloped by established wisteria and ornamental grapevine. A separate 1980s granite building
