Hambledon Cottage, Heritage cottage in Parramatta, Australia

Located at 63 Hassall Street in Parramatta, Hambledon Cottage features Georgian architecture with sandstock bricks and Australian red cedar construction materials.

John Macarthur commissioned the cottage in 1817, and construction began in 1824 to provide additional accommodation for his family in colonial New South Wales.

The cottage served as residence for Penelope Lucas, the first female governess in New South Wales, who developed the surrounding gardens during her stay.

The Parramatta and District Historical Society manages the property, which functions as a house museum offering educational programs about colonial life.

The grounds contain mature trees planted by John Macarthur, including English oak and cork oak specimens that date back to the original estate.
