Overview

Tudor Masterpiece in prestigious Harley Estate

A home of rare distinction and architectural grandeur, magnificent "Bowness" (c.1939) holds a place of local prominence within the prestigious Harley Estate, a picturesque English Village precinct designed by celebrated architect Robert Bell Hamilton. Set in a sought-after parkside pocket, this remarkable Tudor residence has been thoughtfully renovated to provide a family lifestyle of exceptional comfort, while preserving the grandeur and craftsmanship of its heritage. The home's striking Tudor façade, with its steep gables and clinker brickwork, opens to a beautifully proportioned interior rich in period character. Exposed timber ceilings, leadlight and bay windows, studded Tudor-style doors, and majestic stone fireplaces evoke the romance of a bygone era, while crisp lime-washed walls and updated finishes introduce contemporary freshness. A versatile and family-focused floorplan offers multiple living and dining areas, including a grand living room with gas fireplace, a refined dining room with open hearth, and an impeccably appointed kitchen featuring Miele appliances, rich Oak benchtops, and a practical servery. Four upstairs bedrooms, each with built-in robes and split system heating/cooling, are connected by a sun-filled north-facing gallery, while the main bedroom enjoys a walk-in robe, auto sun blinds, and peaceful neighbourhood views. A ground-floor study or fifth bedroom, three stylish bathrooms, and a separate self-contained studio apartment with kitchenette and ensuite provide outstanding flexibility for family, guests, or home-based work. Set amid manicured formal gardens on 632sqm (approx.), the outdoor spaces invite relaxation and entertaining with paved terraces, lush greenery, and traditional scrolled iron gates offering a sense of timeless privacy. Additional features include ducted heating, split cooling, timber floors, period lighting, a double remote garage, and additional off-street parking. Superbly positioned for a lifestyle of convenience and connection, "Bowness" is within walking distance of the Anniversary Trail walking and cycling paths, Willison Park, Frog Hollow Reserve, and local favourite Fordham's Milk Bar. Stroll to Hartwell Village shopping and transport, with zoning for Hartwell Primary, Camberwell High, and Canterbury Girls' Secondary College, and a range of leading private schools. An exceptional family residence of enduring beauty and prestige, "Bowness" stands as one of the area's most admired homes, where heritage charm and modern liveability meet in perfect harmony.
