When you have an amazing hillside site with sweeping rural and sea views, you build a house to maximise it. That was the thinking behind this great new three-bedroom home in The Glen, Nelson.
Constructed on two levels, the plaster and Linea mono-pitch house takes its cue from the site. The main bedroom wing sits higher than the rest of the house and contains two bedrooms, including the master. A fantastic free-standing bath in the ensuite ponders the landscape. The third bedroom and family bathroom have been positioned at the other end of the house, with a view to converting this wing into a bed and breakfast. Lit by a large skylight set in the painted timber rafter ceiling, the tiled kitchen is the hub of this quality home. The AGA range is regularly used for cooking. A solid-fuel heater in the sunny open-plan living area keeps the home cosy all year round and an alfresco living space is nestled in the house’s U shape.
