Knoyle Grand Estate In Prized Burradoo Location

Amid more than four acres of cool climate gardens and parklands in the heart of the Southern Highlands most prestigious village of Burradoo, 'Knoyle' is a gracious family home like no other.

Built for Charles Fairfax in the 1880's and of great historical significance, 'Knoyle' Estate is comprised of 'Knoyle House' a grand and gracious ten-bedroom/6-bathroom family home, plus three enchanting and generously sized guest houses scattered throughout the extraordinary grounds: 'The Old School House' (4 bedroom), 'The Mews Stable' (3 bedroom) and 'The Gardener's Cottage'. Currently providing excellent income from tenants, each could be utilised for guests, or a business, or as has been done in the past, a retreat. There is a further large 8-room building can be converted for use to whatever you please (STCA).

The main home is both grand and welcoming: 16-foot ceilings, sun-drenched verandas, sweeping staircases, delightful arches with significant plaster detailing, eight spectacular reception rooms and beautiful bay windows looking onto gardens containing rare and delightful specimen plants and trees. And yet, the small details of this wonderful place are not to be overlooked: the master bedroom has a secret staircase once belonging to the chapel; the garden contains a seven-level private labyrinth – a meditative experience never to be forgotten.

'Knoyle' Estate is steeped in history: originally built as a gentlemen's retreat and designed by London architect Maurice Adams, and at one period a boarding school, the additions over time have created an incredible residential offering. The Queen Anne style has influences of the Gothic Revival and Arts and Crafts style, but 'Knoyle' has a charm all of its own. It is a magical experience to walk through the property. Located just a minute or two from the stunning Burradoo walking track with long views across serene farmland, it is just a three-minute drive to the thriving town of Bowral with excellent café society and village atmosphere.
