Timber feature walls add warmth and wow factor in the lounge and den of this fantasti c new home in Fendalton, Christchurch. A 5.5m stone feature wall in the atrium anchors the house beautifully.

Natural stone fi replaces, inside and out, create a cosy atmosphere, while linking back to the entrance. Oversize bi-fold doors connect living spaces to a generous 165sqm bluestone patio. A changing room with bathroom facilities serves the outdoor pool. High 2.665m ceilings create a lovely feeling of space throughout. Timber and glass sliders, cleverly concealed in wall caviti es, can divide or open the interior spaces depending on the occasion. The designer kitchen, with butler’s pantry and wine room, takes centre stage on the ground floor. The light-filled master bedroom sprawls over a third of the upper level. Floor-to-ceiling windows survey the grounds. An enviable dressing room and ensuite complete this retreat. A further four bedrooms provide plenty of space for everyone. Bathrooms total five and a gorgeous guest powder room is a bonus.
