121 Andersons Road, Leeston, Selwyn

Haven of tranquillity

Character charm and the calm of the country collide at this quaint lifestyle property that's bordered by picturesque gardens on the outskirts of Leeston.
Affectionately referred to as 'Shanzie' you are greeted to the property by towering trees and a country-style gate that leads you towards the timeless bungalow.
Once inside, your eye will be drawn to the abundance of timber that promotes classic appeal while colourful hues project personality. A trio of living spaces includes a farmhouse kitchen that flows to your choice of two lounges. The central living zone extends outdoors through French doors to the exquisite grounds which are believed to be designed by Alfred Buxton, who was the most prominent landscape gardener of the late nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries.
A wood-fired range contributes comfort and character while a wetback and heat pump are further advantages. A heat transfer system also filters warmth through to the master bedroom.
Offering four double bedrooms and a modernised family bathroom, the property also features a peacefully removed office that adjoins the double garage which represents a quiet retreat.
Various outbuildings and plentiful garaging are found within the 4ha section and include a two and three-bay shed which run on three-phase power. Additionally, there is a double and single garage as well as a carport, while a garden shed, woodshed, chook house and glasshouse ensure you can truly embrace life in the country.
Enjoying a feeling of solitude while being within 2km of Leeston, this property enjoys proximity to local amenities, while a school bus at the gate takes you to Leeston School. Ellesmere College is also in-zone, and a selection of preschools ensures any educational needs are well and truly covered.
Following 26 years of occupancy, the vendors' now need to downsize and offer their treasured family home. Please copy and paste this website address into your internet browser to download the property file: http://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/property/5511283
