Badgerys Creek – Braeburn Homestead

Braeburn is a c1910 homestead and associated land holdings. The farm occupies land originally within the eastern portion of John Blaxland’s farm named ‘Luddenham’. The Longley family owned it for many years of the 20th century. Single-storey farm homestead of timber construction built on brick piers. The main house has brick chimneys, long wide verandahs on all sides and hipped roof. Bull nosed verandah roofs are supported on square chamfered timber posts. External walls are clad with weatherboards (some rusticated, some splayed). A simple separate weatherboard shed is located close to the house. In 1991, Braeburn had been vacant for several years and was in a derelict condition. The current lease holders for the property, Mr and Mrs D E Nowland have since added that the buildings have been demolished and removed from the site. Not surveyed as there was no access to the property. image
