This remarkable residence unites history with a technological future. Built in 1892 by Charles Chandler for merchant James Paterson and reimagined by architect Mark Thwaites, the original double-fronted Victorian house has been transformed into a landmark in sustainable design.

The extension spans three levels and works within passive house principles. This includes soaring double-glazed windows and skylights for warming sunlight and fresh air. Central to the light-filled space is the beautiful kitchen in Peraway stone and Grigio Carnico marble, with a full suite of V-Zug and Miele appliances.

Three ground-floor bedrooms all have their own special character: marble fireplaces, luxurious ensuites, walk-in robes, or abundant natural light. The fourth upstairs bedroom, with its own ensuite and walk-in-robe, is complemented by a mezzanine study and storage.
