27 Potter Road, Clarendon, SA 5157

History recalls it as Clarendon's first school house, home to a family of Blacksmiths, and a watch post for the local Weir Keeper. Either way, every custodian lucky enough to call this iconic property their own would be so proud of what it is today…

Welcome to 'Thornwood'; a C1861 stone-laden two-level home with so many stories to tell and and a new chapter that saw it win a coveted award for its sympathetic - yet ultra-modern - addition. 

Perched at the crest of its sprawling parkland corner setting, every local knows it - and passersby want to know more about this imposingly beautiful home forged out of local stone and fronted by a meandering winter creek. 

The scene couldn't be more perfect for a structure that proudly celebrates old and new by making the transition between the two as obvious as possible. 

On one side, the painstakingly restored original dwelling oozes delightful symmetry, old-world charm and palpable scale, whether you're staring its terraced facade in the face or traversing its bevy of rooms. 

On the other side stands a striking, sleekly rendered 2016 addition that starts with an underfloor-heated family room, feeds an alfresco pavilion, and rises to a master wing with a walk-in robe and luxe ensuite. 

Take note of the addition's burnished concrete floors and exposed brick walls; rustic salutes to an original home that draws you to its sublime kitchen featuring Jarrah floors, black granite benchtops and a 110cm Elan freestanding oven imported from England. 

And there's nothing more Australian than a big, powered shed with its own bathroom, workshop and a hidden cellar that can store up to 1000 bottles of your finest drops. Take a couple from the rack and celebrate Thornwood - and its best chapter yet. You.
