Bianca, Ascot Road – A Timeless Family Home by Award-Winning Lime Building Group
Southern Highlands premium quality builder delivers functional elegance in the heart of Bowral
Set in the heart of Bowral, where tree-lined roads meet fresh country air, this stunning new home is a celebration of light, lifestyle, and luxury. Designed by renowned architect Kathy Barnsley, with interiors by Jess Hunter and gardens by Tempest Design Studio, this home is as refined as it is relaxed — a sanctuary for modern family living built by award-winning builder Lime Building Group. From its striking street presence to the carefully composed interiors, this is more than a dream home. It’s a legacy.
Quality Bowral Builder Delivering A Dream Family Home
The brief was clear: a timeless, low-maintenance family home with generous indoor-outdoor living. The clients, local to the area, envisioned a place where kids could roam freely and grown-ups could gather in style. It had to be functional, but it also needed to impress. “Wow” was on the wishlist — and wow is what was delivered. The layout was designed to maximise sun exposure and green views. Golden-toned steel windows and doors frame the landscape, while white pebbles and manicured lawn stretch from the pool area to the al fresco living room. Inside, open-plan zones flow effortlessly — perfect for milestone celebrations, relaxed weekends, and those magical everyday moments.
Modern Aesthetic with Classic Southern Highlands Influence
With James Hardie Axon cladding and a Klip-Lok Colorbond roof in Surfmist, the façade feels both grounded and fresh. Internally, the home strikes a beautiful balance of softness and sophistication. Natural light pours into the space from every angle, bouncing off engineered oak timber floors and wrapping around the natural stone fireplace — a signature feature of the living room. The interiors, led by Jess Hunter, offer a cohesive sense of place. White, airy bathrooms provide calm and clarity. Durable feature wall linings, including the James Hardie V Joint boards, introduce subtle texture and durability — perfect for young families. Bespoke joinery in the large laundry and a thoughtful integration of appliances complete the picture of calm functionality.
A Southern Highlands Premium Builder That Understands the Climate
Building through the coldest months of the year, the Lime Building Group team braved below-zero mornings and icy roof conditions to bring this vision to life. Precision was required at every stage — especially in the roof detailing and steel window installations, where minimalist finishes allowed for no margin of error. Yet, despite the weather and the complexity of materials, the result feels effortless. This is the craftsmanship of a team who not only understands the Southern Highlands but thrives within it. Where others might have seen setbacks, Lime Building Group saw opportunities to show what they do best.
Award-Winning Collaboration and an Open Building Journey
With years of experience working alongside architect Kathy Barnsley and interior designer Jess Hunter, Lime Building Group entered this project with established trust and synergy. Communication was seamless. Every detail was considered well in advance, giving the build the calm rhythm and clarity it deserved. Even as slight changes emerged mid-build — as they always do — the journey remained smooth. The client felt confident and involved, knowing their builder understood the vision and had the systems in place to respond quickly, clearly, and respectfully.
Country Getaway Built by Award-Winning Lime Building Group
This house doesn’t just perform — it delights. The home’s ability to cater to the many needs of family life, without compromising on aesthetics, sets it apart. It’s light-filled, layered, and entirely liveable. The stone-clad feature fireplace anchors the open-plan space with warmth and elegance. The high-spec laundry, finished with stone benchtops and splashbacks, feels more like a butler’s pantry than a utility room. Bathrooms exude lightness and calm, with high-end fittings adding just the right amount of luxe. Outside, the sparkling swimming pool and white pebbled entertaining zone make full use of the expansive block, framed by refined landscaping and timber accents that blend the home back into its natural setting.
Crafted by Quality Trades and Trusted Long-standing Suppliers
Every material, from the gold steel-framed doors to the natural stone cladding, was chosen not only for aesthetic value but for long-term performance. The tradespeople behind this build are part of Lime Building Group’s long-standing, highly trusted network — selected for their attention to detail and commitment to excellence. Whether it’s the handcrafted timber trusses with gold connection brackets or the custom feature wall linings that bring charm and resilience to everyday life, every touchpoint speaks to quality.
Timeless Forever Home for Local Family Living
At the heart of the project lies something even more important than style or structure: family. This home wasn’t built for resale or show. It was created for long summer days with the kids. For chilly winter nights beside the fire. For laughter, milestones, memories — a true forever home. The thoughtful spatial planning means parents and children are never too far from each other, yet everyone has room to breathe. The hard-wearing materials were chosen not just for their beauty, but their ability to handle the knocks of everyday life. This house is ready for everything — muddy boots, barefoot dinners, Christmas parties, and quiet Sunday afternoons alike.
