The Hermitage is a historic house in the Sydney suburb of Vaucluse, New South Wales, Australia. It is listed on the (now defunct) Australian Register of the National Estate[2][3] as well as the Municipality of Woollahra local government heritage list.[1]

History and description[edit]

The main house was designed and built around 1870-1878 in the Victorian Rustic Gothic style[4] by Edward Mason Hunt, influenced by the design of Roslyndale, in Woollahra, New South Wales. It features a castellated tower, elaborately carved barge boards and a roof of multiple gables. The house was seriously damaged by a fire in 1936, and was restored by Emil Sodersten. It was bought by the Woolworths company in 1964 and used as a staff training centre,[5] but later returned to its original role as a private home. This Gothic house overlooks Hermitage Reserve and has harbour views. The Hermitage incorporates a smaller house, which was built c. 1840byAlexander Dick.[6]

The Hermitage is owned by the family of Justin Hemmes.[7][8]
