This little cottage was built by John Macarthur in 1824 as a second house on his Elizabeth Farm Estate. The cottage is representative of the era with some special architectural features such as internal window length shutters that were lockable to resist attacks by the local aboriginal communities who thought the whites were taking their land.
Hambledon Cottage built by John Macarthur but he never lived in it permanently, it was used to house Penelope Lucas, the former governess to John Macarthur's daughters, lived there for 9 years, naming the family "Cottage" after the township of Hambledon in Hampshire, England.
Hambledon Cottage is a feature of the Harris Park Heritage Walk. The walk begins at Parramatta Wharf and loops around the heritage properties. It is a 2.4km, 45 min walk which also includes Elizabeth Farm and Experiment Farm Cottage.
