Family focus in Canterbury

They say ‘home is where the heart is’ and this is undoubtedly the case with this lovely new home situated at Turton Green, a subdivision on the outskirts of Ashburton.

This Jennian Homes design is  smart-looking, modern and its styling subtly encompasses children, pets and the relaxed feeling of a family home. The heart of the home is physically located right between the gull wings, where most of the living and entertaining takes place. Bi-fold doors open from the kitchen and living room onto a big deck that links both wings, with steps down to provide easy access to the lawn.

Clad predominantly with Envira bevel back weatherboards the exterior is painted Traditional White—a timeless touch of kiwiana—and finished with grey box corners. Contrasting concrete block features give the house a modern edge and street appeal.

The homeowners say that with their busy family life maintenance was a key issue and they were happy to learn that timber cladding (when correctly installed and painted on installation) only needs repainting every 10 to 12 years, the same as any other painted cladding surface. The Envira system also comes factory primed so painting costs are saved immediately.
