Where will I be?
Wembley is situated in Medway, to the west of historic Berrima. It is close enough to town to be an easy drive for coffee or a meal, but far enough out to truly feel away from it all. This is an ideal property for guests attending a wedding in the Southern Highlands as The Bendooley, Centennial Vineyards, Eling Forest, The Loch and Artemis Estates are all within easy driving distance.
Why choose Wembley House?
Wembley House is a truly exceptional Southern Highlands home. Set on an expansive 11 acre estate, the property features a swimming pool, spa, basketball court, covered bar/games room and a large paddock with livestock.
The house has been built in intricate detail using reclaimed features from both the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney and The Carrington Hotel in the Blue Mountains, and furnished throughout with exceptional antique pieces from around the world. Every detail has been thought of, with the addition of multiple TV's, games, etc. for the children. The pool house is self-contained so provides an ideal retreat for parents or grand-parents.
How is the property laid out?
A long private 50m driveway reveals this beautiful property with manicured lawns and fountain. Enter through the ornate lead light doorway and you are greeted by the formal parlour room.
