Set upon the pillars of historical significance, land value, and lifestyle excellence, Brockby Lodge represents Strathfield's most esteemed residence.
This is the landmark home at 123-127 Homebush Road, selling in one line with 129 Homebush Road to total an unprecedented size of approximately 4,500m2 (equivalent to 1.1 acres), making it the suburb's largest private landholding.
Formerly the home of Harold Arnott (1888–1971), Director of Arnott's Biscuits Ltd, this landmark property is classified by the National Trust and listed by the Royal Institute of Architects as a building of major 20th-century significance. Several rooms retain their Victorian elegance, including the formal wings, the executive study, and the palatial master suite.
This is an estate of the highest merit, where one portion displays park-like grounds with seating areas and a pond, and another offers resort-inspired living with a pool, spa and floodlit tennis court. Featuring three entrances for vehicles, including one at the corner of Victoria Street which leads to one of the largest circle driveways in Sydney.
Sympathetic to the character of the building is a vast extension which sets the stage for hosting special occasions at home. The chef's kitchen with a butler's pantry and cool room can cater for a large guest list, as can the open living space with several exits to surrounding terraces and the pool. There is also a gentleman's billiards room with a wet bar and large wine cellar.
The family will discover perennial luxury in the main home's original floorplan featuring four king-sized bedrooms and a study. There is also a garden studio – which can be used as another office, or as an au pair's residence – and parking for several cars.
Strathfield is home to Sydney's finest private schools, drawing discerning buyers from all over the state who are seeking to advance their family's future prospects. There are excellent parks and shopping centres, and world-class sporting facilities at Sydney Olympic Park, while the Westconnex can get you to the CBD in 15 minutes.
