To have the privilege of acquiring Helyhurst is to be bestowed the honour of dwelling in a breathing cornerstone of Maitland’s creation.

Originally part of a 100 acre grant from Governor Darling (namesake to Darling Harbour and the Darling River) to Fredrick Augustus Hely in 1831, the land was not developed until the new owners of the property, Fredrick Esq & Emily Becket, built one of the early JW Pender designed homes in 1880. All up only three families have lived in Helyhurst, a tribute to the liability of the grand ol’ dame.

When the current owners took up residence in the late 1980’s they undertook a mission to restore the property with an intention to honour the Becket’s who commissioned the Pender designed property. Key heritage attributes have been saved and still adorn the home such as iron lace work, original timber windows ceiling roses, ornate skirting boards, original fireplaces (Feature only), pressed tin ceilings and much more !

Happily, there is a lot to love in every room with bedrooms peaceful sanctuaries – so quiet and beautifully proportioned. Formal but not straight-laced, the living room walks the line between relaxed and traditional living beautifully. On top of this, add in the bonus’s of ducted air conditioning to name just one mod con and this really is a place you can call home !

The design on the garden was delivered in spades, creating an atmospheric space that simultaneously complements the homes strong architectural lines and pays respect to the landscape beyond. An in-ground pool has a British Colonial feel to it with park like lawns leading from the house and tall, long established palm trees providing a canopy over head. The addition of a cabana allows for pool side G & T’s to complete a late lazy Summer afternoon.

If you are looking for a little bit of farm-life on your inner city, walk-to-town local, look no further with the 4060sqm block of land catering for horses with separate yards and stables as well as a large well accommodated chicken flock with the best chicken house we have ever seen.

With the location so very close to all the action of Maitland but the feel of a rural property and the individual rooms of the house as well as the animal facilities outside, options are aplenty !
