11/17 Smith Street, Daylesford

This responsibly designed two-bedroom home at The Village represents a unique opportunity in Daylesford to purchase a sustainable, new home by award winning architect, Breathe. All homes at The Village are set in a unique biodiverse landscape and arranged in four distinct locational blocks – North, Central, South and East. Positioned in the Central block, Home 11 at The Village has a light filled kitchen, living and dining area with a discreet power room on the ground floor. Both upper-level bedrooms feature ensuites and ample storage space, with a balcony the highlight of the master suite. The home also features a private alfresco area, rainwater tank and one garage car space. All homes at The Village have been designed to achieve a minimum 7.5-star NatHERs energy efficiency rating, including double glazing thermally broken windows, solar panels and highly efficient fittings and fixtures. To enable carbon-neutral living, The Village will be all electric (no gas). Materials have been chosen that are honest, tactile and durable. Recycled or FSC certified timbers, carbon neutral brickwork with natural finishes predominate the external material palette. A rural language of timber columns, beams and pergolas flows through the design. The interior finishes by Breathe are refined yet inviting with two colour schemes in light and dark shades. To evoke the charm of the local area, homes include bespoke details such as Australian made Robert Gordon ceramic bathroom features and quality timber elements throughout. Kitchen appliances have been selected from the carbon neutral range by Fisher & Paykel. The Village is in Middleton Field, a new neighbourhood located at the eastern entrance to Daylesford. Its location allows for easy exploration of the Daylesford township on foot or by bike, being only a short distance from Raglan Street and other amenities. From Raglan Street, residents can seek out some of the best cafes, bars and restaurants in the region.
