As you see it is open especially the stair void (we love it). We only changed ground floor to 2.75m but after visiting the display home we wished we have the first floor as high as the display 2.6m (we can't change it because Clarendon already lodged our DA). We love the stair and we upgraded our stair exactly like the display (by the way we went there on the first weekend opening, we met people who are building Stamford and every one agreed the staircase is the show case for this design). Overall, we don't change the structure of this design at all. We added the grand alfresco. Good luck! Re: KDR - Clarendon Stamford 38 (NSW) 14Jun 24, 2021 8:07 pm Hi Guys, Thanks for opening my eyes to the Stamford. I’d looked at it on plans but had dismissed it because “who needs 6 bedrooms”. However after seeing your post about it in reference to how similar it was to the Boston (which is what we decided on), I had to have another look. I raced down in my lunch break to go through the house and was amazed at how great it was. I’m definitely keen to hear how you got on and any “extras” you’d recommend based on your experience Cheers Brad melody43 anthony C hi Melody43, thank you for your sharing your experience. we also look to build the Stamford in Sydney. we went to Warnervale display centre which just opened last month. in my opinion, Stamford is a more "open plan" design than Madison and Boston. the staircase and void in the centre of the house connecting all living areas and upstairs areas. allowing a 7metres ceiling height (from ground floor to first ceiling ) to be on displayed. wondering if you can share your thoughts on: - the reason you have chosen Stamford 38 instead of 36? it appears small variance in 1 living area only -what floor options did you choose? any changes? thank you Hi Anthony, We chose the 38 over 36 for 2 reasons, 1. it is bigger especially the kitchen, dinning and living (we could not get the 40 because our land is not wide enough). 2. the prices at the time we signed up 36 and 38 was $432K and $446K respectively (hence 2sq is for $14K is a good value for us).

Good luck! hi Brad, recommend that you join the facebook group Building with Clarendon. you will get a lot more info there. i have looked at both Boston and Stamford, imo, it is really depends on your preference in how much open space you want a Stamford -pros family /dining areas connected to large opened stairwell and second living area ( or home threatre). since they are all connected and sharing space between each areas, this gives you the strong feel of spaciousness. when you look from family/ dining area to the stairwell/ void, 6-7metres ceiling height made us feel the house is more spacious than it is. apart from just looking at the 2 dimensions floor plan, we also looked at the "volume" of space which are related ceiling heights , level of openness ( share space between different living areas and how much light can go through the house from external windows) the cons would be privacy/ noise/ no zoning. since all living areas are connected, this also included living on first floor, if kids are playing upstairs , people from downstairs would be easily disturbed. but this could also a be benefit of parents wants to know where their kids are at all time. this is where Boston would be better if you need separate zones for kids and more privacy, Re: KDR - Clarendon Stamford 38 (NSW) 16Jul 03, 2021 7:58 pm Thanks Anthony. Very good points that we had talked about. We do have young kids at the moment so probably not a bad idea to know what’s going on. We’ve put in a provision to have the media room downstairs closed in. Cheers Re: KDR - Clarendon Stamford 38 (NSW) 17Nov 23, 2022 11:18 am Clarendon Homes Stamford design.
