| Bronte comprises a homestead, mature trees, a well and a slab barn. It is locally significant as an example of a nineteenth century cattle farm providing evidence of rural industries and prosperity in the Hawkesbury River region. The homestead is locally significant as an example of a substantial vernacular rural homestead constructed of bonded face bricks which exhibits characteristics of the Victorian Regency style. The Bronte land was granted to Thomas Matcham Pitt, farmer and Hawkesbury pioneer, by Governor King in 1809. The property is also associated with descendants of the Thomas Pitt family who were settlers in the Hawkesbury region. |  |
