Country Farmhouse: The Modern Edit. Awarded Gold, Regional Gold & Supreme awards at Master Builders House of the Year 2022.

We love the result of this romantic country home; a modern edit of the traditional country cottage that was once positioned on site. The new home and rests perfectly in the gorgeous established rural setting.

Our creative homeowners wanted to replicate the country feeling of the original farm cottage. Modelled on the original 80 sqm cottage the newly built home is 286 square metres. It has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a separate toilet, large open plan living and separate media room. A large family laundry room offers plenty of practical storage space.

High stud throughout the home creates a warm and inviting sense of space. Two large verandahs either side of the home capture the morning and afternoon sun.

A modern take on a traditional farmhouse, this home has the best of both worlds. Romantic detailing throughout is balanced with modern features and function.
