About this property
KERRISDALE BOWRAL -Large historic home in a perfect Bowral location
Graciously settled into more than an acre of mature gardens on the prestigious Centennial Road, historic Kerrisdale offers guests the ultimate Southern Highlands experience. The large, single story home is located easy walking distance to town, sits adjacent to the Bowral Country Club & is a short drive to Centennial Vineyards, Craigeburn, The Gibraltar & Bendooly Estate . The home accommodates twelve guests in style & comfort. Kerrisdale joins our existing portfolio of award winning homes.
Built more than a century ago, Kerrisdale is a grand old Federation Arts and Crafts style home that is part of the greater Kerrisdale estate. The home features a sweeping circular driveway, super high ceilings, original timber floors and large-scale windows that maximise views to the garden and Mount Gibraltar. Wake to the mist covering the mountains and to the Kookaburras that make their home in the trees that face the lounge.
The gardens at Kerrisdale are rambling and include a vast range of cold climate trees that accentuate the seasons. The expansive and private garden accommodates outdoor dining and includes a large grassed area that allows for a great game of cricket or croquet and a secret garden for those looking for a quiet and magical escape under the large oak tree.
Kerrisdale offers elegant accommodation for up to 12 people all on one level. The home has been furnished for absolute comfort with quality furnishings, bedding and appliances. The house is fitted with fully ducted air conditioning to allow heating in winter and cooling in summer. A Brunner wood fire adds further ambiance and exemplary warmth to winter dining and lounging.
There is an abundance of opportunities to enjoy the house inside and out and to take advantage of the beautiful surrounds. The home includes five/six bedrooms, two bathrooms and four separate living spaces. The formal lounge room sits adjacent to the dining room that seats up to 12 people. There is a large TV room and a salon/library that houses a collection of original paintings that date back from the 16th century through to the 20th century. You may dine outside under the magnolia tree or enjoy a coffee under the oak tree or on the verandah overlooking Mount Gibraltar.
The very large kitchen centres around a large central island and includes a five burner Falcon cooker, French door refrigerator and in kitchen dining for four. The kitchen is equipped with all you need to cook up a storm and for preparing for formal dining.
To ensure you have the opportunity to fully enjoy your stay at Kerrisdale and the Southern Highlands more broadly we have provided information and recommendations for dining and shopping experiences available in the area.
Kerrisdale is a new addition to our existing portfolio of vacation rental properties located in Australia and New Zealand.
We rent to responsible adults 26 years and older or multi-generational groups with mature adults as the primary renters. We do not rent to people without prior references through online rental platforms. Kerrisdale does no accommodate weddings or parties. The house is strictly to be used by the guests only (maximum 12 people). To ensure the continued comfort of our neighbours we request outdoor noise is kept to a minimum and none after 10pm. When requesting to book please provide information about your travel group.
