Top: Low-set and sprawling, this
Feilding home won three awards in
the National Master Builders awards.
Above: Solid cedar timber doors
open up to a generous circulation
corridor on the interior.
Above right: Moulded cabinetry sits
above ceramic tiled plank flooring
in the classic, yet contemporary
kitchen. Black granite benches and a
black sink are pitch-perfect additions.
This four-bedroom home
won big at the Master Build-
ers Regional House of the Year
2016 awards, taking out the
Gold Reserve, Nulook New
Home $650,000-$1million and
Gold Award, Nulook New
Home $650,000-$1million as
well as Local Category Winner
for the Manawatu region.
The Feilding home exudes
class and comfort at every turn
with double cedar front doors
opening to the superb interior.
Feature wallpapers, high
ceilings and plush wool carpet
combine to create elegant
living spaces. From the formal
lounge, the eye is drawn to the
rural views, with large glass
doors encouraging an easy
flow to a veranda. Skylights
set into the extended roofline
add to the home’s light-filled,
ambience.
Gas fires featuring floating
mantels add a more traditional
touch in the formal and casual
living rooms. The home’s
study with built-in sewing sta-
tion is a major plus for keen
crafters. A ducted heat pump
sends warmth into the garage,
laundry, bathrooms and bed-
rooms. The master has a
walk-in wardrobe and ensuite
retreat. The second bathroom
is equally dramatic with sleek
black tiles and refined fittings.
