Description
In 1903 Hilda Mary Collins, wife of architect Roscoe Joseph Collins, purchased from the Bank of New South Wales as mortgagee and built "Kuranda" sometime in 1904/05. The lot size has not changed since that time, being over half an acre of approx 2175 sqm. The home has features of the Australian Federation Arts and Crafts Style, with its dominant, steeply-pitched red terracotta tile roof, eaves, front porch, window awnings and gables. Downstairs there are separate lounge and dining rooms adjacent to a long enclosed verandah, a guest bedroom, study, kitchen, laundry, TV room, family room and bathroom. Off the porch is a large entrance hall with timber staircase leading to a further four bedrooms and bathroom. The large established grounds has an in-ground swimming pool. The Mt Errington area named after the original estate is one of the highest points in the Hornsby district with great views to the north over the Berowra Valley regional park. The area is most sought after due to its healthy climate and easy walk to Hornsby Railway Station and regional shopping centre.
