Inverleith’, 55 Canterbury Road, Warrnambool was auctioned December 9th, 2023
The property housed numerous sheds, prompting the family to sift through years of accumulated possessions.
Their progress was impeded by both the pandemic but also the emotions involved in parting with items that held sentimental value from years of family history.
It wasn’t until the beginning of 2023 that the final decision was made to sell the home, meaning significant decluttering was needed before it went on the market in order to truly showcase the classic Victorian residence.
Seeking assistance, they reached out to Abbeys following an online search. Our representatives visited the property to fully understand the family’s needs as well as the scale of work to be completed.
Subsequently, in late October a dedicated team of six Abbeys team members made the journey to Warrnambool, meticulously packing and transporting all items destined for auction back to the Auction House in Burwood.

“It was a huge relief to see the house less cluttered but more importantly it was good to know that each piece would find new homes.
Whilst the empty rooms had lost their ‘shine’ after so many years of holding glass, silver and other shiny items that captured the light, the house looked so much better in readiness for auction.
The Abbeys team were efficient and empathetic, ensuring all goods were packed with care. They made the whole process easier to manage.“

Inverleith was subsequently sold, enabling the Bosse family to move on with their new lives, and knowing that their possessions were going to people who would value them for many years to come.
