Architectural acclaim is matched by exceptional craftsmanship at this award-winning residence, where quality carries from its strongest design statements to the finest points of finish.

The work of renowned architect Cymon Allfrey, the residence was built by Fleetwood Construction as a home of their own, and its calibre was recognised at the highest level, securing a Canterbury Gold Award and National Top 100 recognition at the Registered Master Builders House of the Year Awards.

Positioned across 2,378sqm, the stream-bound setting brings a remarkable sense of serenity and seclusion, while the 435sqm (approx) combined floor area provides an impressive sense of scale. The home takes a detail-driven approach to its architecture, where soaring gabled ceilings amplify the sense of height, timber detailing lends natural character and contrast, and extensive glazing puts natural light and the park-like privacy of established grounds firmly in the picture.

The open-plan living area gives family life a generous social centre, readily moving from cooking and catch-ups to entertaining a crowd, while the den offers a change of pace when conversation or company calls for quieter quarters.

Entertaining claims considerable ground outdoors, where a substantial covered terrace off the living room puts long lunches, evening drinks and barbecues comfortably under cover, while a second deck extending from both living spaces provides a sunlit alternative, and the swimming pool and poolside pergola give summer its own social setting.

The craftsmanship continues into three ground-floor bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the master bringing an en-suite and walk-in robe into its private domain, before the top floor adds another layer to the layout, currently arranged as an office and separate meeting room but with the flexibility to become a fourth bedroom and rumpus.

A separate guest house considerably extends the accommodation, with its own bathroom and two additional rooms providing the flexibility for a bedroom and living area, two-bedroom quarters, or dedicated space for work or teenagers.

Hydronic underfloor heating, excellent insulation and double glazing put comfort on solid foundations, with solar power and hot water adding another measure of efficiency.

Garaging extends to an impressive six-vehicle capacity, with four vehicles secured within the main garage and the adjoining workshop providing versatile additional space for cars, trailers, equipment or storage. Extensive on-site parking effortlessly accommodates further vehicles.

With its admired address on the fringe of Fendalton, the location pairs considerable privacy with prized proximity. Fendalton Mall, Fendalton Park and Medbury School are all nearby, while zoning for CBHS and CGHS puts education firmly among its advantages, completing an architectural home whose credentials run considerably deeper than design alone.
