Browse property in Unwins Bridge Road

Unwins Bridge Road, named after early solicitor Frederick Wright Unwin, forms one of the main thoroughfares of Sydenham and is lined with a mix of heritage‑grade homes – notably the 1850s Australian‑bungalow Nelson Lodge (125 Unwins Bridge Rd) and late‑19th‑century Federation and Californian bungalows that survived the 2009 quarry‑site development proposals. The street’s historic character is reinforced by its early brick‑making roots, when the Harber family operated brickworks along Unwins Bridge Road, and by the presence of other period cottages that contribute to the suburb’s streetscape.

Transport links are strong: the Princes Highway runs north‑south alongside Unwins Bridge Road, while nearby Sydenham railway station (0.2 km) provides Sydney Metro and Illawarra line services, and Transit Systems routes 422 and 425 run along the highway to the CBD and Dulwich Hill. A vibrant commercial strip on the Princes Highway offers shops, the region’s largest IKEA, hotels and cafés, and a cluster of parks – Wicks Park, Rowswell Playground, Tillman Park and Camdenville Park – lie within walking distance, complemented by the St Peters/Sydenham Library and Tempe High School (0.7 km) for community amenities.
