Restored weatherboard ready for new era

Old-school charm meets modern chic comfort in this award-winning Barwon Heads renovation.

A 2020 renovation of the project known as Brown Heads House, designed by Adam Kane architects and built by Technique Construction Group, will soon have new owners as 3 Margate Street, Barwon Heads goes up for sale.

The improvement included a “barn-style” extension aimed at remaining sympathetic to the existing heritage weatherboard cottage – previously known as “the dump – within 200 metres of the shores of the Barwon River”.

Its list of accolades included winner of a Housing Industry Association regional housing award in 2021, House of the Year 2021 from IDEA architecture and a spot on the shortlist for the DeZeen Awards 2022 interior of the year.

The end result is a home with four bedrooms, that features light interiors behind the dark-coloured façade with a host of modern design elements and comforts.

Bellarine Property is selling this home by expressions of interest that close December 15, unless sold prior. The indicative price range is between $3.9 million-$4.2 million.
