Wilderness Road is part of the original Camden Place estate bought in 1890 by William Willett Jnr.

Of particular historical interest are the houses built in the early 1900s by Willett and designed by architects who were also responsible for the houses constructed by the same builder in the late 1890s in nearby Camden Park Road.

The grass-verged road and footpaths on gated Wilderness Road are wide and there is a central green of grass and trees. Properties are spaciously laid out and consist mainly of large detached houses in their own grounds, set well back from the road. The mature front gardens, well stocked with trees and shrubs, emphasise the sense of space around the significant properties set within.

This magnificent ‘Arts & Crafts’ style home with half-timber detailing was designed by Willett’s senior architect Amos Faulkner and constructed in the early 1900’s (c.1911). It is partly in red brick with a partial tile-hung first floor, and there are two-storey canted bay windows to the front and rear elevations.

Arranged over three levels, the main house offers substantial and elegant accommodation.

A grand entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of the property, leading to a suite of formal and informal reception rooms.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the expansive kitchen/breakfast room, which opens out to the garden and is well-appointed for both family living and entertaining.
