The
Summer House at 90 Fletcher Street, Wentworth Falls takes its name from
the old cottage formerly on the site. The old house was built in the early
1900s, apparently so that its owners could escape Sydney's summertime
humidity (which is still a nice thing to do).
Deborah
and Kerry Bennett loved their fibro cottage, but it was falling down.
In its place they have built an imaginatively-designed holiday house which
gives them and their family huge pleasure and which is available for short
lettings.
Deborah's painting
of the old house hangs in the new house.
The Summer House
is close to all of the good things offered by the upper Blue Mountains.
On the south, its back fence is the border of the Blue Mountains National
Park. Its view south down the Jamison Valley is magnificent. Next door
is NPWS's Conservation Hut, with its daytime information and cafe services.
Walks along the escarpment and down into the valley have starting points
at the Conservation Hut.
Wentworth Falls township
is a few minutes away by car, Leura five minutes and Katoomba ten. With
an informed eye you can see the house from the 16th tee at Leura golf
course.
The house has a large
central room with big south-facing windows to take in the view.
