Showhome a candidate for
Master Builders’ Award
A new showhome in Rolleston by
Clark Bros Construction, is set to
impress judges in this year’s Master
Builders’ Awards. It has certainly
been impressing those who have been
visiting the home.
Clark Bros Construction was
established in 2014 by brothers,
Jarryd and Shannon Clark who take a
hands-on approach to their business,
working with clients and managing
each project, to ensure a smooth and
timely build.
Jarryd says quality is an essential
ingredient and this is evident in their
showhome at The Borough. The
267sqm, 4-bedroom home impresses
from the moment
you walk through the
door. Its warmth begs
you to linger.
A cathedral ceiling
gives the separate
lounge something
extra. A swing glass
door connects this
room to the kitchen,
dining and living
space. A double
sided gas fire serves
both lounge and
living areas, adding
ambience while
ensuring cosy living. A box seat
directly under the fire on the kitchen
side, offers a charming spot to relax,
or sit and chat with those in the
kitchen.
From the large living room, double
stacking sliders open onto a large
north-facing hardwood deck, making
the home perfect for a family or when
entertaining. Large windows ensure a
bright sunny home year round.
The kitchen is generous both in
size and cupboard space. A walk-in
butler’s pantry is tucked in behind.
This has a sink and space for a wide
refrigerator. Not often seen, is the
switching of the sink and cooktop.

The latter, an induction hob is
mounted in the centre island with
built-in rangehood overhead. There
is a built-in dishwasher and quality
Electrolux appliances. In the lounge
and kitchen, there are solar remote
controlled opening Velux skylights
with fitted blinds.
One passes through a wide study
nook when accessing the hallway
from the living zone; an area which
might easily serve as a home office.
All bedrooms in the home are
doubles. The master bedroom has
a larger than usual walk-in robe
with fitted cabinetry. There is also a
luxurious, roomy ensuite with doublebowl
wood hanging
vanity, generous
fully tiled shower
and separated toilet.
Lighting illuminates
a tiled feature wall in
the shower itself.
Both bathrooms
have underfloor
heating. The main
bathroom has a
hanging wood vanity
with white bowl,
freestanding black
and white bath with
tiled feature wall and
fully tiled shower. There is also a small
washbasin in the separate toilet.
Built-in joinery with space for
under-bench washer and dryer can
be found in the separate laundry,
along with ample storage in the large
walk-in storeroom (in the hall) and
attic storage trusses in the 6.5x6 metre
garage.
The home’s external cladding is a
fully vented plaster panel system with
cedar and classic stone features. The
roof has long-run corrugated iron.
Clark Bros Construction’s The
Borough showhome is open Saturdays
and Sundays, 11am until 4pm, at 50
Lanner Drive, Rolleston.
Show homes
the ultimate way to shop around
Across the selwyn district, we are blessed with an
extensive array of very good quality show homes.
Building companies build show homes
to demonstrate their workmanship,
display innovative design ideas and
present a snapshot into a new and
luxurious lifestyle, featuring all the
latest in materials, fittings and fixtures.
A show home can inspire you in a way
nothing else can. You can absorb the
ambiance they present and admire the
innovative techniques, new materials
and technology.
You can ask questions, take notes
and compare. You can see at a glance
features you would love to emulate or
would avoid when building your home.
Best of all, you ;will see the building
companies’ attention to detail.
Show homes are the perfect way to get
a good idea of pricing, discover good
quality and value, learn about superior
use of space, future-proofing, ongoing
maintenance and long-term returns.
