Inside the unexpectedly young Victorian-style home in Trentham with quaint gardens and period décor

With its ornate façade, period details and perfectly manicured English country-like gardens guests would think this stunning Victorian-style cottage was built 100 years ago, however it is deceptively new. 

The charming home, in the small country town of Trentham 95 kilometres north west of Melbourne and lovingly dubbed ‘Laurellin’, was constructed just a decade ago in 2012 but perfectly mimics the quaint style of the Victorian era. 

Inside, the owners have emulated heritage charm in the ceiling rosettes, crown mouldings, hardwood floors, grand timber fireplace, antique furnishings and wainscoted walls.
