Discover a world of magic and family luxe on 1.5 acres, renovated from the ground up and seamlessly extended under the keen eye of heritage architect Pauline Hurren.

Built in 1857, Heywood is a classic example of a substantial country house. Widely featured in glossy lifestyle magazines as well as providing an unforgettable film location for the epic movie, “Shine”.

But this is no museum piece; rather a warm and inviting family home where light pours through large windows and fires crackle in marble fireplaces in the formal lounge or adjacent study, showcasing exquisite red cedar bookcases and cupboards, flawlessly matched to originals in the dining room, where soaring bi fold doors hint at an earlier incarnation as a venue for music recitals.

Nearby, a large basement room offers perfect cellarage for your wine collection and a conservatory-style breezeway links old and new.

Family spaces embrace the full beauty and leisure potential of the grounds – the pool, one of two dining terraces and the tennis court – with no fewer than six sets of retractable doors creating an indoor-outdoor flow that is wonderful for parties.

A stunning range of Miele and Liebherr appliances including an espresso machine and wine fridge make catering to a crowd breezy, while a butler’s pantry is an entertainer’s best friend!

Bedrooms too spill out onto verandahs, boasting fantastic built-ins and luxurious ensuites. Parents will love the bonus pleasures of the master bedroom: the spa bath, couple’s shower and dressing room.
