The owner's brief to local architectural experts, Energy Architecture, was for a complete makeover of a grand old character Villa, and the addition of modern extensions to suit an active family while incorporating the latest technology, ensuring the absolute best in energy efficiency and sustainable living.

The result is an outstanding family home, a harmonious blend of old and new, ready to be enjoyed by the next fortunate custodians. Why renovate and build yourself – all the hard work has been done for you here!

No expense was spared in the renovation of the 100 year-old Villa. The lower section of the internal and external walls were expertly removed and replaced with a damp course to prevent any issue with salt damp. Rich recycled Jarrah timber floors were installed and re-surfaced to perfection. All the electrical and plumbing systems were replaced with new, and door hardware and security screen doors were added. Rooms were re-purposed to create brilliant modern accommodation including a romantic master suite with luxury ensuite bathroom and a walk-in robe.

A further three bedrooms (or two plus study/ formal lounge) share a luxury “3-way” family bathroom with separate WC, shower and long granite-topped vanity.

The bespoke modern extension incorporates sustainable and energy-efficient elements, like double gazing, rammed earth walls and hydronic in-floor heating, as well as a radiator system to the rooms of the original home. The modern extensions feature a stunning central gourmet kitchen, family room with a stylish suspended combustion heater, and the perfect home office/ studio with courtyard views and private entrance. A bespoke spiral staircase leads to a spacious mezzanine, ideal for study, relaxation or the perfect home office.

A large, dry wine cellar with quality racking and an easy staircase will please the most demanding wine buff.

Off-street parking is plentiful with a large garage under the main roof, plus paved hard stand for a further three cars.

All rainwater is collected in large underground storage tanks. This water can be filtered and UV sterilized for use in the home.

The landscaped grounds are a delight to behold, and virtually all rooms have soothing views to at least one of the several tranquil courtyards.
