‘Ambrose is a fair way to live the family life’
The West Australian, New Homes – 8th August
Room for adaptation makes this suitable for all kinds of families and blocks.
The Ambrose, by Dale Alcock Homes, has been open in the Bletchley park estate for almost 9 months, and its popularity shows no signs of wavering.
It packs a lot of family living into its generous 250sqm, with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study, home theatre and plenty of entertaining space, including an alfresco area. For those looking for even more space for the kids, a version is available that includes an activity room in the children’s wing.
The single-storey home has a neat, contemporary elevation of rendered brick with a pitched iron roof. At the front of the home is the big main suite, which includes a his-and-her-walk-in robe and dressing room with hanging space as well as well as shelving, drawers and a full height mirror. The ensuite features twin vanities, a shower and a separate toilet. The entry corridor continues through to a home office and a sunken home theatre.
There is plenty of room for relaxed entertaining in the spacious, open-plan dining and living area, which totals almost 45sqm. High ceilings and glazing allow plenty of natural light and doors at the end of the living area open to the alfresco area terrace under the main roof line.
An island bench with breakfast bar defines the kitchen and separates it from the dining area. The kitchen is well equipped with stone benchtops, stainless-steel appliances, a double sink with flickmixer and filtered water tap, deep, self-closing drawers and a handy telephone or computer nook.
Hidden away neatly behind the kitchen is the practical laundry, with a walk-in linen press ad external door.
The children’s zone includes three double-sized bedrooms with integrated robes, a bathroom with a single semi-recessed vanity, shower and bath; a separate toilet and a walk-in storeroom.
The Ambrose, as displayed, suits lots from 16.5m wide, but can be adapted to fit a 16m-wide block
