Denfield, Heritage homestead in St. Helens Park, New South Wales, Australia

The Denfield property contains a main residence built from sandstone brick, featuring a symmetrical Georgian colonial design with timber verandah and multiple outbuildings.

John Farley constructed the original house between 1835 and 1837, incorporating a roofed connection to the kitchen block after his arrival from England in 1812.

The land where Denfield stands belonged to the Tharawal people before European settlement, marking a significant shift in regional land use patterns.

The property underwent substantial renovations in 1964 by architect Sydney Palmer, who preserved the colonial features while updating necessary structural elements.

John Farley, the original owner, gained local recognition as the first person to report seeing Fisher's Ghost, a tale that became part of regional folklore.
