'Byways' in old Bowral
???Byways??? - relaxed, contemporary living in a rare old Bowral homestead.
???Byways??? said to be built in 1867, is a splendid example of a Victorian era homestead. In 1888, Neville Henry Cayley, an eminent artist of Australian native birds leased a property with fine views over Bowral named ???Bona Vista???. His son Neville William Cayley, author and illustrator of the best selling book ???What Bird is That??? and daughter Alice Rochfort Cayley, painter of ???The Laughing Kookaburras??? series lived as children in???Bona Vista???. The property was renamed ???Byways???, following a visit by celebrated garden designer and writer Edna Walling.

Although endowed with its original features and character, ???Byways??? has been recently restored and renovated for today???s contemporary living. When originally built, the house was carefully sited to take advantage of the views over Bowral, and to receive year round sunshine and light. The homestead is surrounded by a wonderful old highlands garden, which is located in a picturesque quiet area, only walking distance from town.
You can enjoy relaxed country living inside and out, with formal and informal dining, open fires, French doors onto return verandahs, delightful views over Bowral and garden, four serene and spacious bedrooms, indulgent marble bathrooms, a custom built country kitchen with marble bench tops and traditional butlers pantry, a private study or media room???all flowing together from a wide and gracious central hallway.
Whilst an historic home ???Byways??? is warm in winter cool in summer, with recently installed central, under floor gas heating and air conditioning. It has high ceilings, original New Zealand kauri timber floors, beautiful drapes and blinds exquisitely made from imported fabrics, a mud room, separate laundry, abundant storage, and quality fixtures and fittings throughout.
Other features include, a large barn-style two car garage, recently renovated wiring, plumbing, drainage, modern dual hot water systems, back-to-base security, a rose covered summer house, a parterre garden, a potting shed, plus garden tool and wood sheds, dry stone walls, hedge rows, an established, restored highlands garden with mature trees, rare shrubs and plants, watered from a 50,000 litre rain water tank.
An attached, separately titled 876 sqm parcel of land with street frontage and all services is also available to purchase. It could be landscaped into the main garden, developed as a guest residence and/or retained as an investment property.
???Byways??????a property to savour, admire, and be proud custodian of for future generations.
