The residents of this four-bedroom family home must feel they’re perpetually on holiday in a luxurious lodge. The Versatile Homes build sits proudly on tree-lined Miles Lane, on an elevated, newly created site that maximises its northwest orientation and views. The lovely landscape is complemented by stylish materials both indoors and out, with a sharp combination of black Axon and Designa Schist making the exterior stand out on the street. Every space has generous proportions – in the expansive open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, an impressive 2.7m stud and raking ceilings add to the sense of grandeur. Restful muted tones from outside are reflected in the brown tiled splashback and wooden floors, and a big island bench provides the ideal space to prepare a feast for guests.

Endlessly versatile, a separate ‘flexi space’ can be used how the occupants choose, while an office or fourth bedroom is located at the front entry, an ideal work-from-home solution. Gas fires indoors and out, along with central heating and underfloor tiled heating ensure the home is cosy throughout the year, and a covered alfreso space with outdoor gas fire offers sheltered outdoor entertaining. Clutter is banished thanks to a generous scullery and separate laundry, along with an oversized garage with attic storage. Extensive landscaping and decking complete this impressive picture.
