About this property

This magnificent country home dates from the early pioneering days of owner Karen Jarrett's family. Its handcrafted sandstone and timber features tells a story of the earliest settlement in the valley and provides a blessed setting for an unforgettable Kangaroo Valley experience.
With the spirit of a joyful soul, the house offers the comfort of modern country living with all the charm of yesteryear. Time honoured traditions are expressed in line dried linen, a country kitchen warmed by a crackling fire, fresh flowers, French bubbly, and chocolates that await each guests arrival. These traditions and gifts of generosity are like the hand woven threads of a gorgeous quilt of unpretentious splendour that makes Hampden House such a compelling experience.
To this picture add a marvellous in ground pool for summer pleasure, ducted heating and cooling, wifi, Netflix, an espresso machine for great coffee, a seasonally changing garden of mature trees, flowering beds and sweeping lawns and a picturesque river setting. Hampden House is just a 10 min stroll or a two minute cycle into the village, yet remains a peaceful little world of its own.
You can't imagine a more idyllic historic home for a romantic getaway.
