Think grand light-filled rooms, 3.7m-high ceilings, prominent decorative features and an elongated hallway framed in a lofty arch.

As it was in those early days, the best was reserved for guests. And what better way to welcome them than with a bay-windowed formal lounge room adorned with extravagant lighting and a marble fireplace.

Yet this one now saves the best for last, where Pauline Hurren has managed to impart open-plan living - without compromising a skerrick of that old world charm.

The end result is a seamless, bluestone-wrapped extension with a bay window of its own, a formal dining room and a kitchen with granite benchtops, breakfast bar and a 900mm Ilve freestanding oven.

In between stands the strong bones to defy its age, blonde timber floorboards that have never looked better, a bevy of fireplaces, colourful leadlight windows and prominent skirts.

With its own dressing room and private invite to a two-way ensuite featuring tessellated tiles and a tub surrounded in stone, rising and retiring is a treat in this master bedroom.

We're reminded once more of Pauline rare talent for recreating a bygone era thanks to the fully-self contained coach house that rises to a second level, just metres from that secret side road access.

There are character homes. And then there's this.
