Hidden from view, this very private, sunny and sprawling brick house on
approximately three quarters of an acre is situated in the exclusive Echo Point
Precinct of the Blue Mountains. Originally part of the Darley Estate this
whimsical but sophisticated entertainer is now looking for its fifth owner in over
100 years.
Built originally on land given to a Sydney doctor by Lord Darley, the house became known as 'Doc's house at the end of the Darley Estate' – hence the name Endarley. Fully restored and classically based its new owner also needs a sense of fun. The house can cater for large functions or intimate get-togethers. The domed ballroom, for example, has a magnificent open fire and built-in library shelving. An open dining room is framed by wrought iron, which defines the space and features a bespoke 'gothic revival' wet bar with a drinks fridge. leading on in turn, to a breakfast room, kitchen with a miscellaneous cooking corner and traditional Falcon cooker. Off to one side and concealed from sight is a scullery with extra sink and ½ dishwasher. The breakfast room leads out in turn to a laundry, mud room and – via a proper barn door – a patio and the great outdoors. The bedroom wing is full of witty surprises. The master bedroom at the end of a corridor features a gas fire, w.i.w., and glamorous large ensuite. A fun feature offers the option of 'walking through the wall' to enter the third bedroom. The latter bedroom has a 'narnia bathroom' hidden within a wardrobe. Meanwhile the 2 nd bedroom's ensuite bathroom is accessed via a 'library door'. A fabric-lined powder room has yet another secret door leading to a bathroom with Japanese bath and 'gothic' shower. The latter services a large attic room which has its own separate toilet. A handy large cellar provides extra storage and a wine-buff's delight.
An interesting and well-stocked 'cold-climate' garden offers a large pond and summer house. The double garage is timber-lined, heated and can be used as a studio or garage. Fire up your imagination, take the challenge and see if the house welcomes you as its next owner. Subject to Council permission a pool, conservatory and extra garaging can be added. Come and see for yourself.
The lookout wine-bar, Miss Lillian Tea House, Darleys' and Echoes fine
eateries are a short walk for those who can bear to leave their
remarkable new house.
