Introducing 'Benson House,' a stately Georgian residence of exceptional heritage, rich in history and timeless elegance. This is a rare opportunity to own one of Hawkesbury's most remarkable examples of early architecture, nestled in Richmond's prestigious dress circle. Positioned on elevated land upon a sprawling 2,586sqm approx. allotment, this grand estate offers sweeping views over the lowlands and mountains beyond. It's perfect for families wanting more land and gardens, and a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life while remaining within easy reach.
A treasure trove of historical charm, 'Benson House' is adorned with exquisite period features: opulent marble fireplaces, soaring 12-foot pressed metal ceilings, bespoke Australian red cedar joinery, imported French crystal chandeliers, and a meticulously renovated country inspired kitchen. The home has been lovingly restored, blending modern luxury with its original grandeur to create a magnificent showpiece.
Originally built in the early 1840s as 'Tycawina' for shipwright William Murry Benson (the brother of the then Archbishop of Canterbury) and his family, the home underwent a significant expansion in the 1890s, including the addition of a 2nd storey by Prosper Henry Ridge, a local dignitary and former mayor. The heritage-rich property also boasts former servants' quarters, now fully self-contained accommodation-ideal for extended family, additional income, or guests.
The grounds of 'Benson House' are equally breathtaking. Beyond elegant French iron gates, the estate boasts an approx. 37.8m frontage and lush, manicured gardens adorned with century-old crepe myrtles, jacarandas, a 150-year-old magnolia, and an original 'mile pine.' A stunning French gazebo draped in roses and a striking sandstone water feature offer the perfect setting for family garden parties, weddings, and memorable social gatherings. The property also features a historic sculpture of Queen Victoria, gifted by Lord and Lady Jersey in 1892.
With a private cellar, original well, and abundant historical details, 'Benson House' is an iconic, spacious family home full of charm and character. Conveniently located just moments from schools, shops, transport, and parklands, and within easy reach of Sydney CBD, this extraordinary estate is a rare offering.
