Meyendell is a unique 3 x 2 Studio Home designed and constructed by a renowned Master Builder, to cater for his wife's passion for Pottery and Weaving and his own hobby of Photography. The 7 metre hexagonal studio is the centrepiece of the home with Entrance Hall / Sunroom; 2 Bedrooms; Pottery; Study and Darkroom all leading off the Studio. Skylights 6 metres high, provide natural light to the room.
Attention to detail is obvious throughout the home. The Kitchen is a chef's delight with hand crafted jarrah and leadlight cupboard doors, full length stainless steel benches and worktop, large walk in pantry, together with a modern Stanley “Waterford” slow combustion stove. The kitchen is separated from the Dining / Lounge area by a high bench which gives both areas access to views to the North through large glass windows and sliding door. The Living area has built in cupboards including a library, 6 metre high raked pine lined ceiling with exposed beams, skylight and has a Jarrahdale Innovator fire. The main bedroom has a porthole leadlight window together with sliding glass doors to the patio / garden. It also has a raked pine ceiling and is complemented with a large WI robe and bathroom.
The Pottery has a stainless steel sink, potters bench and direct access to a kiln in the gardens. The Darkroom is also fully equipped with stainless steel sink and benches. The builder has left nothing to chance with both these specialty rooms having specific drainage pits to trap the waste before draining to the leach drains. Rain water is stored in a sunken 100,000 litre concrete tank which forms the base for an outdoor area complete with shade sails and built in BBQ. This area is linked to the house by a pergola and steps through the garden and overlooking a pond decorated by hand crafted exquisite ornaments.
Meyendell is situated high on a hill, offset from the Nannup road on the outskirts of Bridgetown. 5 acres of natural bush complete with large Jarrah and Marri trees frame a winding road leading up to this unique Studio Home.
If you are looking for a home designed by and for a craftsperson, then Meyendell may well be the home for you.
