Description
Shades of Unique Architectural Originality
This is a spectacular one-off home. A unique, architecturally-designed, former House of the Year finalist in 2006, and affectionately known as the Sunglasses House - for obvious reasons. The home has been built as two pavilions, linked by an internal passage, and allowing for two separate living zones. Adding to its appeal is the large and cleverly-planned garden which encircles the house and can be viewed from every window.
Entering via the left pavilion, you're greeted by a welcoming lounge with a Eureka wood-burning fireplace and stone feature chimney. A modern extension (created by the current owners) houses a new, well-equipped black and white kitchen and features a 1,100mm wide Belling electric/gas stove and a Fisher and Paykel twin-drawer dishwasher. A sliding door takes you onto an elevated, south-facing deck where you can enjoy meals while overlooking the fabulous garden, footbridge and pond.
The interior dining area sits below a high raked ceiling set at interesting angles.
A north-facing bedroom is serviced by a compact bathroom with bath, vanity and WC., while stairs lead up to a second bedroom with delightful garden views. The second pavilion has an almost identical layout, but with a sitting room, dining room, kitchen and deck downstairs - and a master bedroom with ensuite upstairs. Each pavilion has an LG wall heating and cooling unit for year-round comfort. The superb garden combines native plants with traditional English flowers and shrubs, and showcases a huge vegetable garden and over forty fruit trees.
Close to the coast, enjoying the intimate village atmosphere of Indented Head and on an impressive 4,468m2 site, the Sunglasses House is well worth a look.
