38 Bridges Road, Gerringong

Just 90 minutes south of Sydney, the laid-back coastal village of Gerringong offers a lifestyle unrivalled for beauty and convenience. At its heart, this one-of-a-kind home adds character and exciting potential to the mix. Welcome to Bella Rose Manor.

Occupying a commanding corner position atop a generous 660sqm footprint, this six-bedroom brick rendered double-storey residence has all the hallmarks of a restored Victorian manor. Yet it was actually built by the owner in 2006 – inspired by English stately homes and perfectly positioned amid the green rolling hills of the South Coast.

Every detail has been considered here – from the authentic wrought iron verandah lacework and spiral staircase to the individually sourced stained-glass panels & forest red timber floors throughout.

With its 9- & 10-foot ceilings (with ornate cornices), there is a real sense of space as you enter into the large family room. The farmhouse kitchen is the heart of this home, offering ample storage, quality 900mm Smeg gas oven and huge Caesarstone bench for gathering everyone together.

One wing of the house leads you to the internal access double garage, large laundry, covered travertine courtyard & outdoor hot/cold shower – ideal after the beach. You will also find a privately accessed, self-contained guest flat – featuring a large living space, kitchen, bedroom & ensuite.

Head in the other direction & you'll step through to the formal living room, bathed all day in natural light & boasting a stunning full-height bay window plus easy access out to the verandah & beyond. Air-conditioning will keep you cool when the sea breeze is absent, while the gas fireplace takes care of the cooler months.

Nearby, the large master bedroom features its own impressive bay window views plus walk-in wardrobe & luxe-sized ensuite. Upstairs, four more bedrooms await – each with built-in wardrobes and ceiling fans. Up here, another living room matches the footprint below, including bay window, balcony access & ocean views. You'll also find a large study and a full bathroom with clawfoot bath.

Outside, the English-style garden provides a fitting fringe to this unique property – with camelia & star jasmine hedges, roses, weeping cherry trees, grape vine, fishpond & large fountain. It's the perfect spot to sit & ponder the many exciting possibilities this Manor offers through its versatile layout and blend of modern and heritage elements.

We invite you to experience it for yourself.
