Ardmore Park House

Ardmore Park House unites an original brick veneer farmhouse with a new 327 sqm extension, adding an enclosed garage, open-plan living area, master suite and entry foyer, set against uninterrupted views of the Buckets Range.

A Merbau timber pergola frames the entry, leading to a blue front door that signals the home's blend of tradition and modern design. Vertical James Hardie Stria cladding and skillion rooflines give the extension its own architectural identity alongside the original structure.

Inside, the open-plan living area sits beneath high raked ceilings with Havwoods parquetry flooring, and thermally broken double-glazed windows manage a climate that swings from 45°C summers to frosty winters. The fireplace centres on a handcrafted Cheminees Philippe firebox, topped with a hardwood lintel beam salvaged from the original property, and fitted with an external wood-loading hatch.

The kitchen pairs deep green 2-pac cabinetry with Dekton benchtops and Gaggenau appliances, backed by a butler's pantry, and the bathrooms carry a tonal green palette with artisanal tiling through to the master ensuite.
