Enter a spacious and versatile open-plan kitchen and living area with soaring 6 metre ceilings, timber windows, and superb Italian tiles. An efficient combustion fireplace warms the entire home.
French doors open to the alfresco area and the back garden from both the living room and the master bedroom.
Above is a loft bedroom, which could be used as another sitting room or studio which leads to the balcony.
The house was completed in 2010 and was designed for low energy, sustainable living and thermal comfort. The excellent natural insulation properties of the ½ metre thick walls keep the home cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
