Ferndown is an architect-designed home combining heritage features with modern convenience and environmental sensitivity.
Period features accenting the house throughout include high ceilings, ornate cornices, picture rails and tasteful use of stained-glass windows - a treat for the connoisseur of craftsmanship. All of this is integrated in a modern build, constructed with love and meticulous attention to detail.
Comprising 5 bedrooms and several living areas, the home has the flexibility to be adapted to your family's needs and your wishes for entertaining.
All rooms have generous dimensions and good light.
Uses for the upstairs floor is only limited by your imagination, perhaps as a studio, rumpus room or home theatre.
The visitor to Ferndown will be greeted at the formal entrance, which is the start of the wide, spotted-gum hallway that connects the elements of the home.
For the home chef, the kitchen is equipped with European appliances, granite benchtops and ample storage.
A large, walk-in pantry adds more space.
The kitchen faces north with a view of the rear garden that changes with the seasons.
Ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning provides heating and cooling throughout the year.
Two gas log fires give additional warmth.
Bathrooms have underfloor heating and heated towel rails.
Solar energy is absorbed through an array of 22 panels.
Two 10,000-litre rainwater tanks irrigate the gardens and lawns, as well as flushing the toilets.
Surrounding the house are formal lawns and gardens with paved areas and gravel paths.
Maples, rhododendrons, camellias, and various specimen trees make a memorable display in spring and autumn.
On a curving driveway, the garage, with good storage and two utility rooms, is discreetly hidden by shrubs and trees (some photographs depict seasonal colour).
