'Cherrywood' circa 1873, is a magnificent Blue Mountains estate of rare historical significance and grand scale. Originally owned by the Hordern family and developed between 1873 and 1910, the property beautifully preserves its heritage, including the original residence, a sandstone coach house, and a collection of outbuildings and sheds. The exquisite weatherboard home is set within a majestic, park-like garden of approximately five acres, featuring rolling lawns, established plantings, and filtered views stretching to the distant city lights.
From the moment you arrive, the property makes a striking impression. A long, sweeping driveway leads to the home, where wide, covered verandahs create an inviting and enchanting entry. Inside, the interiors showcase superb craftsmanship, with large windows designed to capture abundant natural light and tranquil garden vistas. Elegant French doors open seamlessly to the outdoors, complemented by warm timber floorboards and distinctive sandstone features throughout.
Accommodation is generous and versatile, with four well-proportioned bedrooms in the main residence, a charming guest studio nestled within the garden, and an additional separate studio, ideal for working from home or creative pursuits. Extensive parking is available, including a large double garage with workshop facilities, along with multiple off-street parking areas.
Perfectly positioned just minutes from village cafés, boutiques, and rail, and within easy reach of excellent schools and bushwalking trails, this is a rare and tightly held opportunity to acquire a private and tranquil piece of Blue Mountains history.
