The spacious, three double-bedroom show home with two living areas, has been designed to reflect the family-oriented nature of the Summerfield’s Estate subdivision.
Showing off the style of Central Otago Kelly Deeks Versatile Homes and Buildings Cromwell has a new show home on display at 16 Stowell Drive, in the Summerfield’s Estate subdivision in Cromwell, which is now also able to be viewed in a virtual tour on the Versatile Homes and Buildings website. Versatile Homes and Buildings Cromwell has been owned and operated by David and Marie Holden since 2000.
The show home features Central Otago schist at the exterior entranceway.
David Holden is a qualified joiner with 30 years of experience in the construction industry, while Marie Holden has a background in retail. The couple and their team have an excellent understanding of their local market. They understand the extreme weather conditions that Central Otago can produce, and how best to build a new garage, farm building, or home to cope with these conditions. The Versatile Homes and Buildings Cromwell team can assist with all building requirements, from initial site consultations and advice, to building consents, and everything else clients may require for their finished project. Versatile Cromwell covers all areas from Cromwell to Wanaka, Alexandra to Millars Flat, the Maniototo and everywhere in between. Marie says the construction industry in Cromwell has experienced highs and lows over the past 15 years, but in the past six months has really taken off. With a wide range of two, three, and four bedroom homes, farm buildings, studios/ sleep outs, and garages of all sizes the Holdens say Versatile Homes and Buildings Cromwell has something to offer all types of clients. “We’ve built farm buildings for orchards to be used for seasonal workers accommodation, garages for irrigation pump sheds, and storage buildings for local golf clubs,” Marie says. “Garages aren’t just for cars anymore.” At the end of 2014, Versatile Homes and Buildings Cromwell had five houses under construction that were all designed to suit each client’s needs. “What’s in the brochure is just the starting point,” she says.
The new show home was completed at Labour Weekend 2014, and is open to view on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 2pm to 4pm, or by appointment. “We have had lots of foot traffic through our show home already, and has far exceeded our expectations,” Marie says. “People just love it!” David Holden designed the spacious, three double bedroom show home with two living areas, to reflect the fact that Summerfield’s Estate is a family oriented area. The show home features Central Otago schist at the exterior entranceway, which flows through
to the interior entrance of the house. The Central Otago feel is further emphasised with linear weatherboard and Rockcote cladding. On the interior, use of space is maximised with the bedroom wardrobes featuring built in furniture, and a large walk in wardrobe in the master bedroom. A solar tube day-lighting system in the hallway provides bright and natural light, while a heat transfer system ensures the home is always warm. The home features lots of special features including a wood burner fire that can charge a cell phone.
Proud to be a part of Versatile for 15 years
