Putney
Nestled along the banks of the Parramatta River, just 14km to Sydney’s CBD, lies the charming suburb of Putney. Steeped in history, the area was originally named Eastern Farms and later Kissing Point by British colonists, marking one of the earliest European settlements in the colony. The legacy of pioneering brewer James Squire, who established the Malt Shovel brewery near Kissing Point in 1792, adds a touch of historical richness to the area.
Modern-day Putney is a vibrant riverside community offering a blend of traditional and contemporary living, with a mix of older-style family homes, quality new residences and designer duplexes dotting the landscape. Putney Village shopping precinct has the local IGA and a choice of lively restaurants and cafés, providing a local hub for residents. A stroll along the river reveals picturesque parks including Kissing Point Park, Morrison Bay Park and the dog-friendly Putney Park, offering idyllic waterfront spaces for recreation and relaxation.
For those seeking a pleasant commute to the city, the Kissing Point ferry wharf provides a scenic alternative to the buses along Morrison Road, or trains from nearby Meadowbank station. While boating enthusiasts can take advantage of the local boat ramp, providing easy access to the river.
Families are drawn to the area not only for its scenic beauty but also for the healthy selection of childcare and schooling options, both here and nearby. With its riverside appeal, historical significance and vibrant community spirit, Putney stands as a harmonious blend of past and present for residents seeking a tranquil yet connected lifestyle that’s not too far removed from Sydney's dynamic heart.
