The dramatic play on the vertical and the horizontal, rendered surfaces and timber panels are softened by the undulating grounds and sweeping lawns to form a unique home of evident quality. The outstanding kitchen will undoubtedly become the social heart of the home, with its extensive range of Leicht units, Gaggenau appliances and Flame granite work surfaces. The incorporation of limestone floors creates a unity throughout the ground floor and the lounge with its rotating wood burning fire and full depth glass panels to two aspects, is lent an almost liquid light by the play of reflections from the adjacent pools.

The house was designed by a respected architect friend of mine,” continues Mike. “We sat down together and went though everything that my partner and I wanted from the property. He asked us things such as how we wanted to live and what we enjoyed doing, so for instance I love to cook and therefore the design and quality of the kitchen was very important. We also love open-plan living so the whole house has a really great flow, great lighting and a spacious feel.” Walkerley House_PAGES_V3.indd 6 09/03/2015 11:46 “Another material that has been used to wonderful effect throughout the property is glass. In the extremely insight spacious living room, for example, floor to ceiling windows span two entire walls providing panoramic views of the beautifully landscaped garden beyond, and sliding panels on both walls can be pushed back during the warmer months to provide a seamless connection with the stunning outdoors.” Walkerley House_PAGES_V3.indd 7 09/03/2015 11:46 SEPARATE PLANT ROOM Full infrared 24 hour CCTV system, ventilation and door to underground double garage.
