A residence of truly regal proportions, 'Lynton Manor' is graced with an almost Hollywood-esque sense of old world elegance and grandeur. A luxurious home with an illustrious history, it seamlessly blends beautifully retained period features with contemporary additions of the highest calibre. Built c1939 for the famed land baron Sir Walter Randolph Carpenter, parts of the home were built by tradesman brought over from Europe. A relaxed yet sophisticated Mediterranean ambience remains within the manicured grounds, and the design is perfect for the relaxed Australian lifestyle, with French doors leading to shady terraces on all three levels and expansive outdoor entertaining areas centered around a ceramic mosaic tiled, gas heated pool.
