5 Brassey Road, St Johns Hill, Whanganui

Timeless elegance

Highfields on Brassey Road is a true St Johns Hill icon. Built in the 1920s, this character four-bedroom home with landscaped grounds is ready for a new family to create special memories.

Roughcast with a tiled roof, the front of the house is extremely attractive. The turnaround driveway and elegant entranceway provide a sense of formality and creates some excitement as to what is inside.

Polished wooden floors, traditional timber paneling and leadlight windows all enhance the very special ambiance this home provides. Beautifully decorated throughout and with gas central heating, the spacious ground floor features a cosy snug/library with an open fireplace. Across the hall is the more formal sitting room which is large enough to host family and friends, it too has its own open fire which is well used in winter. The formal dining area flows from the sitting room plus there is a separate study.

The English style kitchen is light and airy offering plenty of space and a well thought out scullery. An absolute delight for foodies who love to entertain.

A stunning conservatory was added by the owners and blends perfectly with the existing architecture. It is the perfect place to sit and read, entertain and there is a further separate sitting space with large windows for capturing the sun all year round.

Outside, the rear sunny garden offers several al fresco sitting and dining areas and you can watch friends and family enjoying the pool or you could just have a quiet drink at the end of the day.
