Named for an estate in the classic novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, Chesney Wolde was designed in 1916 as the only house south of Callantina Rd. In the years since the approximately 2,626sqm property was first sold in 1918, notable residents of Chesney Wolde have developed Melbourne retail, pioneered local manufacturing, practiced orthopaedic surgery and fought for indigenous land rights.
