Hunters Hill Early History
An amalgamation of two convict-built historic sandstone cottages, dating to 1856
A remarkable offering and a unique estate spanning an impressive 1,484 sqm (approx.) across two titles, this home delivers scale, flexibility and enduring character in a tightly held Hunters Hill peninsula setting. With a 40m (approx.) frontage to Madeline Street and a 19.9m (approx.) wide access from Cullens Lane, the property is the tasteful amalgamation of two historic sandstone cottages.
The oldest section (east) of the house was a cottage owned by Richard Jarman, who built a single-room stone cottage dating to the early 19th century. In 1878, Felix Cullen, mail officer, purchased the estate and 3 Madeline Street was built in 1885 as a four-room stone cottage. In 1978, the sandstone residences at 3 and 5 Madeline Street were joined by an L-shaped stone addition in 1978. The name ‘Wyaldra’ was kept.
A rare opportunity to secure a landmark dual-facing holding with exceptional versatility and predominantly set across one level, the home is ideally suited to families, downsizers or multi-generational living, offering a fluid layout framed by wraparound balconies and surrounded by landscaped gardens and level lawns. A prized northerly aspect ensures all-day sun across the private garden, while period details retain original charm, offering scope to further personalise or enhance over time (subject to Council approval).
Gated sandstone and metal fencing provides privacy and presence from both street frontages, complemented by a double lock-up garage and additional off-street parking spaces. Within walking distance to village shops, cafes, parks, waterfront reserves, Hunters Hill primary, Hunters Hill high school with city and private school buses close by.
