**68 Bowral Road, Mittagong NSW 2575 | Lot 1/SP76218**

**A rare opportunity to become the next custodian of one of Mittagong's most distinctive residences.**

Prominently positioned along Bowral Road, **“McIntyre”** is an extraordinary Tudor-Revival residence with a story stretching back more than a century.

Believed to date from circa 1918, this landmark home is distinguished not simply by its striking architecture, but by its remarkable connection to the early development of Bowral Road and the Southern Highlands.

Extensively renovated, extended and transformed by its current owners between 2015 and 2018, McIntyre today brings together the character and craftsmanship of another era with the proportions, amenity and functionality expected of a substantial contemporary residence.

**This is not simply a home with character. It is a home with provenance.**

## A Landmark With a Remarkable Story

McIntyre was constructed in the **Tudor-Revival style as the primary residence of the Fulford family**, who emigrated from the United Kingdom in the 1890s and became a prominent business family in the NSW Southern Highlands.

The family held significant tracts of land along Bowral Road and elsewhere within the Wingecarribee Shire.

While residing at McIntyre, the Fulfords progressively subdivided other Bowral Road landholdings and constructed numerous cottages and bungalows during the building boom of the 1920s. Remarkably, many of those homes remain part of the Bowral Road streetscape today.

At the centre of that history stood **McIntyre**.

Its architecture made it distinctive then and continues to do so today. McIntyre is understood to be **the only Tudor-style residence on Bowral Road and one of only a small number of residences of this architectural character within the Mittagong and Bowral districts.**

In the 1950s, the property was sold to Mittagong's then Chief of Police, adding another chapter to its history.

Decades later, Whyte Developments acquired the property and constructed two prestige stand-alone villa residences behind the original home. The site was subsequently registered as strata title **SP76218**, comprising three stand-alone residences, each with its own garden area.

Importantly, the original McIntyre residence was retained.

And its next chapter was about to begin.

# Historic Character — Remarkably Reimagined

After years as a leased property, McIntyre required considerable renewal when acquired by its current owners.

Rather than erase its past, they embraced it.

Between **2015 and 2018**, an extensive program of renovation, extension and architectural enhancement was undertaken with a clear objective: **preserve the home's unmistakable Tudor identity while transforming it for modern family living.**

The result is a residence where old and new have been deliberately brought together.

Recycled hardwood timbers, genuine Victorian-era stained-glass doors and windows, feature joinery and carefully selected architectural elements reinforce the character of the original residence, while major structural and internal works have substantially expanded its functionality and living spaces.

## The Transformation

The initial works included significant internal structural changes across approximately 60% of the residence and a comprehensive redesign of the internal layout.

The hallway, living room, dining room, laundry and kitchen were reconfigured, existing hardwood flooring was renewed, the interior was repainted throughout and two fireplaces were installed.

Then came the home's most significant transformation.

In 2016, McIntyre was substantially extended to the rear, including the addition of a **second storey and dedicated guest wing with ensuite**, together with a substantial **conservatory/family room and staircase**.

The main bathroom was fully renovated, the kitchen comprehensively renewed and a **third fireplace** added to the residence.

Further works during 2017 and 2018 continued the transformation, including conversion of the original open front verandah into an enclosed **entry vestibule**, installation of a feature Tudor-style internal door within the main hallway, extensive built-in wardrobes to the walk-in robe, main bedroom and guest wing, and the addition of a dedicated linen room.

Throughout the project, the architectural language of the original home remained central to the design.

## Character You Simply Cannot Reproduce

There is a warmth and individuality to McIntyre that cannot be manufactured.

**Recycled hardwood timbers.
Victorian-era stained glass.
Restored hardwood floors.
Three fireplaces.
Tudor-inspired detailing.
A substantial conservatory/family room.
Private guest accommodation.
And more than a century of history.**

Every generation has contributed something to this remarkable property, yet its identity remains unmistakably McIntyre.

## A Home Designed to Be Lived In

Beyond its historical significance, this is a substantial residence created for contemporary living.

The redesigned floorplan provides multiple living and entertaining spaces, while the major rear extension dramatically increased the scale and versatility of the home.

The conservatory/family room provides an impressive everyday living environment, while the guest wing and ensuite create valuable separation for visiting family, extended family or private accommodation.

Multiple fireplaces reinforce the atmosphere expected of a Southern Highlands residence, while the renewed kitchen, bathrooms, storage and internal spaces deliver the practicality required for modern life.

It is this combination that makes McIntyre particularly compelling:

**the romance of a century-old Southern Highlands residence without surrendering the comforts of contemporary living.**

## One of Bowral Road's Most Recognisable Homes

For approximately a century, McIntyre has watched Bowral Road and the surrounding district evolve around it.

Land was subdivided.

Neighbouring cottages were constructed.

Generations came and went.

Yet the Tudor residence remained.

Today, extensively renovated and considerably expanded, **McIntyre continues to command its place within the Bowral Road streetscape.**

For buyers drawn to the Southern Highlands because of its history, architecture and sense of place, this represents something increasingly difficult to acquire — **a residence with an authentic story stretching back generations.**

# “McIntyre”

**Some homes provide an address.
Others provide a story.**

For more than 100 years, McIntyre has been part of the fabric of Bowral Road.
