21 Henry Street, Ascot

Harnessing an unrivalled and elevated aspect capturing sweeping vistas across Ascot, the Gateway Bridge and out to the mountains, this unique estate retains all the grandeur and prominence of its traditional design. Originally a 15 acre property, ‘Nyrambla’ was commandeered by the military during WWII as the headquarters of Central Bureau in Australia. A joint venture of Australia and the US, this code breaking organisation intercepted enemy signals and aided in victory in the Pacific.

Guiding through the commanding entryway and into the formal lounge room, this captivating living area exudes an incredible sense of space and opens out effortlessly to the sprawling grounds and wraparound verandah. Hosting an inspired dining room with a marble fireplace and brass chandelier, this private retreat adjoins the kitchen, quaint sitting room and leads out onto the sunlit patio and pool.
