THE GOLDEN COMPASS

1 Ayrshire Lane, Dalefield/Speargrass Flat

Architect | Dravitzki Brown
Builder | Bruce Perry of Newco Builders
Year | 2012

At 645 m2, this substantial, high-quality home in heart of the Golden Triangle supports extended families, home-occupations, and a broad range of recreational pursuits.

The high-quality construction prioritises energy efficiency & sustainability with a state-of-the-art ground-source hydronic underfloor heating system, 280mm ECOBLOCK insulated walls, and argon-filled thermally-broken joinery. Timeless exterior design principles were applied in selecting cedar weatherboards, Spanish slate tile roofing, and a classic Otago schist feature chimney.

The spacious living areas consist of a formal lounge with a built-in wood fireplace and open-plan dining and living spaces. These are all surrounded by floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall sliding glass doors, making them perfect for entertaining all year round and enjoying the changing light and views on a daily basis.

The residence features flexible accommodation, including the main bedroom (with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe), a second bedroom (with ensuite), two guest suites (with walk-in-wardrobes, ensuites and kitchenettes), as well as an additional large room that could suit an office, nursery or conversion to 5th bedroom if required.

The property’s exterior and grounds are equally impressive, with a Jetmaster open fireplace in the front courtyard, a robust garden and lawn irrigation system, and ample off-street parking for guests. The grounds provide privacy, a platform for social gatherings, and endless opportunities to further enhance and develop in your own style.

In addition to the triple car, internal access garaging with substantial loft space (accessed by a permanent staircase), a separate 100 m2+ garage/workshop is currently configured with a double garage door and four smaller rooms for storage, woodwork, and metalwork hobbies. If additional vehicle storage is required, this building could be easily reconfigured to support four cars, bringing the total garaging to seven.

SHADOWMAP

New Feature

We invite you to try out this recent addition to our marketing platform. Shadowmap is a tool for visualising and understanding how the sun tracks in relation to a property throughout the year.

Important Notes:

  • We’ve tested this against real-life, on-site conditions and it’s generally been very accurate. However, it doesn’t account for the extra sunlight that passes through deciduous trees during the winter months, which in many instances is a significant difference.

  • This tool is most user-friendly on desktop/laptop devices.
