Blencowe

Situated on a hill in West Leederville, this grand turn of the century brick and tile home had an extension done in the 1980’s which did not do it justice.

The new owners wanted something more modern but in keeping with the original home. Cambuild liaised with the architect to ensure the character was retained in the extension.

The old renovation work was entirely demolished and the job started again to ensure quality. The ceiling height has been carried through, as has the tuck-pointing, ornate cornice, architraves, brickwork and wide floorboards.

With jarrah French doors and windows throughout, Cambuild created a new ensuite off the master bedroom, a new laundry, bathroom, kitchen and study.

Upstairs an attic accessed by a jarrah staircase was created to become a kids’ playroom overlooking Lake Monger and the City skyline.
