Historic beauty in Central Rangiora

Sold under the hammer

Rich with history in the heart of Rangiora, this enchanting period property, affectionately known as Ipswich, pairs unmistakable character with contemporary upgrades in a convenient locale near countless local amenities.

Originally constructed in the early 1900s, the home has distinct English charm, which is matched superbly by modern enhancements that have been sensitively integrated into the existing layout.

The three bedroom, two bathroom floor plan is beautifully arranged, featuring options on either floor. An upstairs bathroom supports two of the bedrooms, one of which is the master with a walk-in robe, while the other is a spacious alternative with an adjoining sunroom.

The second bathroom is located downstairs to service the third double bedroom, which has outdoor access and connects to a second sunroom, making it a versatile space for sleep, study or sewing.

There are numerous spaces dedicated to relaxing, dining and entertaining, with superb indoor-outdoor flow. A separate drawing room, warmed by a recently installed log burner, houses a bookshelf equipped with a hidden door leading to the double garage. The home has been lovingly maintained, featuring a recently replaced Welsh slate roof and striking marble floors in the primary living zone, while three heat pumps are complemented by central heating, which can be reconnected for heightened comfort.

The external access wine cellar will appeal to summertime entertainers who can effortlessly gather with guests amid the quaint courtyards. The potager garden hosts espaliered fruit trees and showcases abundant veges and Buxus hedging, which border the magnificently established grounds.

Strolling proximity to all of Rangiora's central offerings ensures this property will be a popular choice with buyers seeking a home laden with heritage allure.
