3 Clwydon Close

Belrose NSW 2085

The two-storey, freestanding house was designed and built c.1969 - constructed with a post and beam structure and finished with the Lockwood building system of solid cedar tongue and groove panelling.

A recently completed renovation has sensitively brought the house to a high contemporary standard, maintaining the original footprint but increasing the size of the master bedroom and adding a third enormous living space that flows out onto the deck, overlooking a large pool.

Set on a generous 659 sq m block, the house enjoys an ideal orientation having north to the rear. Viewed externally the crisp lines of the buildings design feature extended eves to the rear, creating a verandah that runs the full width of the house on the ground and first floor.

These become living spaces in their own right. The extended eves allow the warming winter sun in and shade the house in the height of summer. The window system to the rear creates a rhythm to the design, being floor to ceiling glass on both levels. Sliding doors open to the verandas from every room to the rear, including all main living spaces.

Viewed at any time of day, the large expanses of Western Red Cedar glow against the darker structural framework. The geometrically placed windows on the front faade add a lightness to the overall design, which in turn is offset by the lush green of the surrounding sub tropical gardens.

Accommodation is generous and well laid out over two levels, measuring approximately 220 sq m.

+ Four bedrooms, all with built-ins
+ Master with dressing room
+ Two bathrooms
+ Kitchen opens to large dining area
+ Three further oversized living areas; living room with slow combustion stove; family room opening to extended deck; and main lounge upstairs
+ All rooms at the rear of the house open to the covered verandahs that run the full width of the house (15.6m)
+ Sub tropical garden
+ And large kidney-shaped pool
