In the lush farmlands surrounding Timaru lies an existing family home that will undergo a renovation/alteration of massive proportions. A whole wing will be added to the western side of the original house turning a modest 2 bedroom home into a stunning 4 bedroom property. Where the existing 2nd bedroom, office and hall was, will now be opened up to a generous lounge. The internal corner of which will feature a log-burner big enough to heat the heart of the house and all of its adjoining living areas.
The master-bedroom will be remodeled to become bedroom 4 and a new master will be created on the north western corner. Before you get to the master you will pass the entry to the en-suite and walk-in wardrobes. Bedrooms 2 and 3 and the office will also be in the new extension. Bedrooms 2-4 feature built in wardrobes and in the hall there is access to 3 different storage cupboards not to mention there will be additional storage in the office as well.
What will really set this house apart from the rest will be the extensive deck and outdoor living areas. Access will be from the master, hall, lounge and living via large sliding doors. Skylights will be installed in the verandah so that light will flood onto the deck area outside the living room. The verandah will follow the same raking ceiling from the new dining room, making a real feature out of this room. The deck area on the eastern side will connect the main house to the external laundry with stairs and a ramp as access from the surrounding ground level.
The house will extend its internal foot print from 146m2 to a whopping 234.62m2 not including the large decking area. In keeping with the old part of the house, red brick will clad the exterior walls with the gable ends being timber board and batten. The roof will be Colorsteel and the glazing throughout will be modern powder coated aluminium joinery.
