Blinds & shading for Irene.

Irene is really two neighbourhoods sharing one name. The old village — built up around the historic dairy farm and its oak-lined streets — is character homes with timber-framed sash and casement windows, dappled light through mature trees, and a heritage feel that asks for a warmer, more considered window treatment. Around it, the newer Irene Farm Villages and estate pockets bring the same open-plan, big-glass floor plans you'll find right across Midstream next door.

What actually differs, window by window

• The old village: timber sash and casement windows respond well to timber-toned roller fabrics or a timber venetian — real material, warm tones, and a fit that respects the frame rather than fighting it.
• Irene Farm Villages & estate pockets: open-plan glass and covered patios behave exactly like Midstream's — sunscreen and day/night blinds for the living areas, motorised where the spans get wide.
• Dappled light under the oaks: less of the flat, direct glare you get on an open estate stand, but still enough afternoon sun on west-facing rooms to make sunscreen fabric worth specifying properly rather than guessing.

Whichever side of Irene you're on, the process is the same: a free in-home measure, a written per-window quote, and installation by our own team — see the full process on our home page.
