Glenleigh Estate
'Glenleigh' is a very special home - with an unusual Scottish farmhouse vernacular external architecture and an ornate, lavish interior. Many myths surround this house, including that the owner James Ewan brought painters from Italy to decorate the interior with friezes, stencils and ceiling murals. More research suggests that the painting, which has to be seen to be believed, was done by Sydney firm Lyons, Cottier & Co. This company were very popular in the 1880s, but not many of their works have been preserved. Glenleigh is therefore very rare and worth a visit. Tours are available for 20 or more people.
Glenleigh also operates as a nursery, specialising in hedging plants. Contact Glenleigh for more details.
