Quarry site just right for a home

By Tommy Barker

Opting for a classical lodge-style home, they built this 3,000 sq ft property on the site of a former stone quarry. However, the digging days are over and there are no traces of this site's former use - no Flintstone boulders to be seen.

The only stone in evidence is the cut stone used in the landscaping, and the site layout allowed a neat bit of working around terraced space which adds character to the setting. The three acres include two paddocks, and herb and vegetable gardens.
