Located less than 10 minutes drive from Rangiora this character bungalow has been lovingly and sympathetically restored whilst retaining many of its original features.

The tree lined gravel driveway leads up to a delightful family home that oozes charm and ambience.

Lead light windows and natural wooden panelling, doors and dado rails are exquisite features of this delightful home. The hand crafted rimu kitchen is in complete harmony with the rest of the home and comes fitted with modern appliances and ample storage. The open plan kitchen/dining area opens into a large separate lounge with wooden double doors ideal for relaxing with the family or entertaining. An original bay window offers a picturesque vista over the garden. French doors open out onto a generous deck perfectly positioned for soaking up the afternoon sun.

There are two spacious double bedrooms and one good sized single bedroom. Another room off the master bedroom could easily be utilised as a study or craft room. An attractive wood panelled bathroom has been modernised and comes with vanity, toilet, shower and a claw foot bath. Another separate toilet and laundry enhance easy family living. There is no excuse to be cold in this house with insulation in all the external walls, under the floors and in the ceiling. Two heat pumps and a wood burner ensure year round comfort with a wetback and solar tubes keeping power bills to a minimum.

Handily located near the house is a woodshed, double garage with carport, and ample off street parking.

The easy-care garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with shrubs, roses and mature trees overlooking the surrounding countryside. This fully fenced property is well set up for livestock with a three bay barn (with one lock up bay) and cattle yards.

If you are looking a home with character in an idyllic setting, then this property is sure to impress.
