Berrima 7-9 Oldbury Street
'Oldbury House'
A short walk to the heart of Berrima Village, this glorious, private estate offers both history and luxury. The beautiful Georgian-style architect-designed homestead has been master-built for family living. It boasts four spacious bedrooms, a study, a light-filled designer kitchen with spectacular coffered ceiling opening to the garden, spacious living areas and cosy nooks with fireplaces, both wood combustion and gas.
Separately sited and invisible from the main home, the original timber cottage from 1855 has been sensitively and meticulously restored and earns excellent income as a multi-award-winning short-stay rental with own private garden and driveway (www.oldburycottage.com.au). Berrima has a constant need for tourist accommodation, so it is popular year-round: continue to run it or keep it for guests. A further extraordinary heritage stone cottage could also be restored.
Enter through a winding driveway lined with pin oaks to discover a garden wonderland of colourful deciduous trees: Manchurian pears and apples, ornamental cherries, boxelder maples, oaks and poplars, underplanted with thousands of spring bulbs. The property has ultimate privacy, as it backs onto crown land – the sound of birdsong is all you will hear.
