Magnificent Horningsea Park House is one of the most grand and historically significant homestead estates in South West Sydney. Circa 1830-1839, Horningsea Park House was built by Lieutenant Joshua John Moore and his convict labourers and was the home of Polish explorer and discoverer of Mount Kosciuszko, Count Paul Strzelecki. This stunning example of Georgian architecture once sat on five hundred acres of prime agricultural land. Today Horningsea Park House is privately positioned on 9,089m2 of landscaped and manicured gardens. Massive Bunya Pines, Moreton Bay Figs, Peppercorn Trees and Chinese Weeping Elms border the grand circular driveway with period lamp post lighting framing the impressive facade of this stately home.
Upon entering the original homestead you are greeted by high ceilings, striking Jarrah floor boards and finely crafted Australian Cedar joinery. Natural light pours through the many beautifully dressed windows and in the grand ballroom and formal dining you can easily imagine Count Strzelecki once contemplating life in front of one of the seven open fire places. The huge rumpus room with superbly restored flooring and open fire place flows into the well appointed kitchen, with the sun drenched grand stair case accessing the upstairs living quarters. Four king sized bedrooms with open fire places and brand new Axminster commercial grade carpet exude warmth and comfort and make this a wonderfully functional family home if desired. The master bedroom is finished with a fitted walk in wardrobe and renovated en-suite, with an upstairs bathroom servicing the remaining bedrooms.
French doors open from the library onto the balcony and offer amazing views over the pristine grounds and "Bunya Park" ahead.
Throughout its long and glorious history Horningsea Park House has had several owners and in 1999 the current owners took occupation and further enhanced this wonderful period home. In 2004 Horningsea Park House underwent its largest transformation with a superb and carefully considered renovation and extension designed by heritage architect Howard Tanner. The addition of the East and West wings to the original homestead is seamless. All of the history, character and integrity has been retained whilst being transformed into an exquisite modern day residence and business premises. Beautifully shaded verandas with impressive columns and sandstone surrounds link the two wings. The East wing offers gigantic fifth and sixth bedrooms, with an en-suite making this an ideal guest quarters, children's games room or perfect for extended family. The West wing features the laundry, bathroom and an enormous games room with kitchenette. The size and functionality of the games room is such that for many years owners operated their technology business from this hugely versatile space, with NBN and multiple network/phone connections between the main homestead and wings. The grounds of Horningsea Park House are nothing short of spectacular. The sparkling salt water pool and gas heated spa is nestled at the rear of the home and has complete seclusion from the outside world. Jacarandas, Bottlebrush, White Cedar and Cherry Trees are scattered throughout the park like gardens with the historically significant Bunya Pines and Moreton Bay Figs reaching high into the skies above.
The usages and potential of this landmark offering are endless with the possibility of building additional residences or buildings within the curtilage in keeping with historical precedence, and the prominent location would enable fantastic usage for professional meeting rooms, the establishment of a restaurant/cafe, boutique pub or an amazing function centre (S.T.C.A). Located 3km from the M5/M7 junction, 31km from Sydney Airport, 16km from the proposed Badgery's Creek Airport (set for completion 2026) and 47km from the Sydney City Centre, Horningsea Park House is perfectly positioned as an executive residence or business premises.
Horningsea Park House has been painstakingly restored, renovated and improved upon. Being offered to the market for the first time in almost twenty years this is a wonderful opportunity to secure your own piece of history and call Horningsea Park House yours.
