Bronte House, Colonial estate in Waverley, Australia
The Gothic-style cottage features extensive gardens that extend into Bronte Gully, with architectural elements representing mid-19th century Australian residential design patterns.
William Mortimer Lewis, Colonial Architect, acquired 42 acres at Nelson Bay in 1836 and initiated construction before selling the property due to economic difficulties.
The residence stands as a physical record of European architectural influence in Australian colonial settlements, reflecting the social status of early colonial officials.
The property, managed by Waverley Council since 1948, requires advance arrangements for visits and operates under specific heritage protection regulations.
The Ebsworth family maintained ownership for three generations until 1948, marking the longest period of private possession before municipal acquisition.
