Handcrafted country hideaway

Located just 40 minutes from the Christchurch CBD and 30 minutes to Akaroa this lovingly crafted home is steeped in history.
Constructed in early 1990s from Halswell schist stone, wooden shingle roof and timber this home resembles something that may remind you of a fairy tale.
Set back beyond quaint country gates with wide open spaces of sprawling lawns and plants upon arrival to the home the real wow lies beyond the front door.
Your eyes upon entry will be immediately drawn to the central staircase that is steeped in history having been saved from an old Convent in Christchurch. The u shaped kitchen provides a light open space to cook enjoying all the spoils of morning sun on offer and views of the gardens in full bloom.

The charm of yesteryear is highlighted with a working coal/wood range perfect for an old fashioned damper or a toasted marshmallow on a cold winters night. Flowing through to the open plan dining and living space you will be abundantly grateful as your view from every window looks like something from a postcard.
The ground floor has two large bedrooms with generous wardrobes and one room boasts a stunning round picture window. There is an additional downstairs bedroom with a wardrobe or this could serve as a hobby or large utility room.
There is an updated log eco burner approx. 6 years old in the living area and several heatpumps throughout the home.
