NOW SOLD

Designed by well-known Christchurch architect, Chris Prebble and sitting perfectly in its restful, private two hectares of pastoral land, this substantial 262sqm family home will hold immense appeal to buyers seeking country living without the workload of a full-sized lifestyle block.

The versatile floor plan hosts expansive open plan living and entertaining zones, anchored by a sleek modern kitchen that boasts a fabulous butler's pantry which leads to a large laundry/boot room. Warm timber flooring, striking vaulted ceilings and generous use of glazing are a perfect marriage of modern and traditional country living.

Boasting four double bedrooms in the main house, the master bedroom is larger than most, with a vaulted ceiling, large walk-through robe and ensuite with double shower and basins. A beautifully-appointed family bathroom serves the other two bedrooms. A separate powder room and mezzanine floor - perfect for a play room or extra bedroom - complete the interior layout.

A separate cottage, just 20 metres from the main house, adds another dimension. The cottage has a bathroom and Rheem gas water heating - perfect for inter-generational living, an extra guest room or working from home.

With double glazing, three heat pumps, a Yunca wood burner and 1.1metre Warmington open fire, this home is supremely comfortable year-round. Excellent positioning for stunning mountain vistas. The partly covered timber deck provides a grand setting for summer parties overlooking the sprawling lawn with oak trees and walled garden. A five-bay garage and two-bay shed complete a package of rural perfection. Located two minutes' drive from Darfield and 35-minutes to Christchurch Airport. Offered to the market for the first time, this property promises laidback country living. Copy and paste the following link into your web browser: https://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/property/5517021
