Surrounded by a collection of beautiful mature tree species like oak and chestnut, I was immediately drawn in to it’s quaint setting and beautifully-edited interior.

Alongside the Scandinavian-inspired exterior, the inside is equally stunning with its calming earthy tones and textures throughout, which include tasteful beech wood kitchen cabinetry, white walls, natural textiles and wicker accents. There’s a serene continuity inside that simultaneously compliments the outdoors. 

Owners, Sarah and Daniel designed the layout themselves which was based around an existing structure (which was a large detached garage with office space above within the grounds of their own home). They added on a bootroom extension and entrance at the front of the property which is approaching 2000 square feet in total. It’s one of my favourite hotel-style features yet —there’s so much to be inspired by. 

I spoke with Sarah recently and asked her a few questions about the build. Here’s a bit of our conversation. Check it out below!

I love the fireplace, how was it made?

The wood burning stove is actually sitting on a bench which as been covered in the same microcement as the floor.
