Nestled on Yates Road in Margaret River, this charming home draws inspiration from French provincial architecture, embodying the rustic allure of a southern French farmhouse. Set on 3.2 hectares of unspoiled bushland, this single-level residence features weatherboard construction and expansive verandas with intricate detailing. These inviting outdoor spaces create a harmonious connection with nature, offering ample opportunities to relax and enjoy the surrounding native flora and mature trees.
THE DESIGN
The home features a modern Country French-inspired design that elegantly combines timber, weatherboard, and Colorbond materials. Key architectural elements include white multi-paned windows, French doors, and a pitched ceiling with exposed timber rafters, all enhancing the connection to nature. A welcoming drive-through entrance, framed by simple white columns, leads to double French doors and invites you into a bright, warm interior. The design effectively utilises windows and French doors to flood the home with natural light, further integrating the living spaces with the serene landscape and showcasing its stunning architecture.
The main living area and kitchen exude peace and serenity, with a pristine view of the private lawn and captivating bushland beyond. A standout feature is the standalone slow-combustion wood-fired heater, which draws attention and enhances the cosy atmosphere, complemented by moody pendant lighting and a striking high-pitched ceiling with exposed timber rafters. This entertaining space includes a well-designed kitchen with spacious Corian benchtops, abundant storage, and overhead cupboards. A double wall oven and 900mm gas cooktop further enhance it, while a timber-lined raised bar adds an inviting touch.
The property features four tranquil bedrooms, each serving as a private retreat accessible from the verandah. Bedrooms one, two, and three are elegantly designed, with French doors, their own bathrooms, charming chandeliers, and cozy verandah sitting areas. The main bedroom, accessed from the main living area, offers a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, and a private courtyard. This thoughtful layout integrates beautifully with nature, offering stunning views of the lush backyard and surrounding bushland.
The property features an expansive outdoor verandah adorned with decorative curved brackets, where French doors seamlessly connect the interior rooms to the beautiful outdoors. This design allows breathtaking views of the peaceful bushland, showcasing a diverse array of flora and fauna. The serene environment is perfect for relaxation and mindfulness.
