Classic four-bedroom home completed in 2020, blending timeless aesthetics with energy-efficient features, including solar panels and Eco-Block walls, set in a picturesque countryside location.

Nestled in the countryside, this 357sqm home is a masterpiece of design and efficiency. Inspired by the charm of an English country lane home, this four-bedroom home blends classic aesthetics with high-performance, energy-efficient living.

At the heart of the home is a grand entry and foyer, leading to beautifully appointed living spaces designed for comfort and connection. The open-plan kitchen and dining area, complete with a scullery, flows effortlessly into a separate lounge - perfect for entertaining or quiet retreat.

Designed with sustainability in mind, the home features Energate timber joinery, thick 276mm Eco-Block walls with a plaster finish, and solar panels for exceptional energy efficiency. Verandas and thoughtfully designed outdoor entertaining spaces invite year-round enjoyment of the surrounding landscape.

Practicality meets luxury with four bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a mudroom, generous linen storage, a double and single garage, plus additional storage and a charming potting shed for garden enthusiasts.

Professional Reviews

1 / 7

“You get a house with a healthy environment — there’s no condensation, no mould and no heating costs. It made sense to build this way. I like that you can control the humidity levels and the little things you notice, like the bedding is always dry. Hofmans Builders created a beautiful, high standard home, Steve and Susie and their team were great to work with and we would not hesitate in recommending them to future e-Haus clients.”
