The creative owners of this character-filled home wanted to replicate the feeling of the beloved original cottage that stood on the site. It’s clear they’ve achieved their goal. The result is a spacious four-bedroom home brimming with period-inspired details and one that fits seamlessly into its rural setting. A high stud and pitched ceiling in the living areas combine with Harrison Lane’s signature craftsmanship to infuse a days-gone-by aesthetic into a home that also enjoys all the benefits of the latest conveniences. Large verandahs on either side of the house capture morning and afternoon sun and provide the perfect place in which to relax and appreciate the scenery. Spanning a generous 286sqm floorplan, the layout has been designed for the practicalities of a growing family. Each of the four bedrooms, two bathrooms and powder room has been elegantly designed, and a cosy media room sits off to the side of the open-plan living area. The neutral palette is cleverly complemented with feature walls, including delightfully quirky wallpaper choices. This contemporary take on a traditional farmhouse has the best of both worlds. Romantic detailing balanced with modern elements make it a lovely place to be.
