About Linley Point
Linley Point is a small peninsular suburb
located on the north western side of Sydney
Harbour, in the local government area of the
Municipality of Lane Cove, in the state of New
South Wales, Australia.
Linley Point is approximately 10 kilometres
north-west of the Sydney central business
district by car.
Linley Point is situated between the peninsula
of Hunters Hill and Woolwich to the south, and
Lane Cove to the north. Most of Linley Point is
surrounded by the Lane Cove River, and is
accessed from the south over Figtree Bridge,
and from the north via Burns Bay Road. Due to
its elevation many houses have spectacular
views of the river and Sydney city, with some
houses also having views of the Sydney
Harbour Bridge.
Linley Point is one of the smallest suburbs in
Sydney, with 131 dwellings. It has undergone
significant redevelopment, particularly of older
homes. Linley Point is also home to several
historic houses, including the NSW heritage
listed "Linley House" on View Street, and
"Rockcliffe" on Lower Brooks Street.
