A simple flow and notable environmentally conscious ethos, sets this light and airy, three-bedroom home apart. Northern aspect, double glazing, good insulation, solar panels, natural ventilation and use of recycled timber, has resulted in a home that is both serene haven, and platform for positive change, embracing a lower eco-footprint.
A generous, open plan living arrangement, provides plenty of continuous daylight and banks of stacking sliders, give a seamless transition from inside to out. Internal amenity from garage, master with ensuite, two bedrooms, study nook, central family bathroom and deluxe galley kitchen, overlooking generous dining and living, give the home a modern edge that is also amenable to dashes of vintage flair.
The paired back vibe and white-on-white palette is softened by honey-toned bamboo flooring. Intimate spaces flow to the bright white expanse of the living, dining, kitchen. Extensive glazing, opening to garden, creates a feeling of open-ended, luxurious space, framing views and welcoming natural breezes and sunlight.
The galley style kitchen has a generous island bench and lots of storage, including a floor to ceiling pantry. Easily the hub of the home, this broad social space, feels effortless, inviting yet robustly flexible. Think, meals with creative flair, a happy gathering of family and friends or simply relaxing solo, across a lazy Sunday.
Outside, the use of recycled wood, sourced from Thor’s Hammer, lends the expansive deck a richness and a lovely emotional resonance. Shaded by a steel pergola this generous easy-care, private arena offers the ultimate relaxed lifestyle. Easily accommodating quiet mornings with coffee or dynamic social gatherings the deck has a lovely northern aspect, softened by mature hedging and established feature trees.
