AI summary
This Avondale cottage was expertly transformed by architect Maria Hosking and builder James Hosking from a modest bungalow into a unique family home.
A key feature is the major extension, connected to the original house by a wide, glass-enclosed corridor. This creates a sunroom effect and seamless indoor-outdoor flow to a central courtyard.
The property also includes creative outdoor spaces like a fire pit and a versatile sleepout, blending mid-century style with modern living.
