All the Trappings on Thornycroft

Price by Negotiation

This classic 1930s four-bedroomed, single-storey home is bound to attract serious interest. Some addresses make people sit up and take notice, and Thornycroft Street is one of Fendalton's perennial favourites. Although it might be a quiet cul-de-sac off Glandovey Road, with an abundance of greenery around - both in the garden and in the neighbouring reserve - it's also accessible to everything from the airport to Hagley Park and to the emerging new city of ours. The property itself is immaculate and gracious, with tasteful modern architectural elements. A formal entrance hall leads to three interconnecting reception rooms, which can be opened up for parties or gatherings, or closed for a cosier, intimate feel. On to an entertainer's kitchen with appliances to more than satisfy the modern chef. The north and west facing living room leads out via French doors to a large verandah and private landscaped garden, featuring mature protected trees and a Tea House. All four bedrooms are of good size, and the master bedroom has a walk-in robe and ensuite. There's no shortage of storage both here and in the double garage, which has dual access to garden and driveway. All EQC work has been completed. Families with school-aged children will be delighted to know they're zoned for excellent local schools: Fendalton Open-Air School, Burnside High and Christchurch Boys' High Schools.
