This is a thoughtfully designed residence with its own special character. With an exterior of brick and western red cedar, and an interior of brick and timber, the house has a warm and inviting atmosphere and a uniquely homely feel. Employing sustainable passive solar design principles and good insulation the house is designed specifically for its Armidale country environment and easy to keep warm.
