Clear title is now through. Tucked between Clearwater and Devondale Estate and just minutes from the airport you can leave your city cares behind you. Drive through the Groynes and discover a bagged block 490sqm Peter Beaven designed five bedroom, three living room home sits effortlessly in its surroundings. Arriving at the home this architecture stimulates memories and images of Europe, of castles and soaring gothic cathedrals. Indoor bridges, natural materials, internal block pillars, muddy paint finishes and narrow planked Southland Beech floors takes ones breath away.
The entranceway is large enough to hold a forest Christmas tree and leads into a large light filled formal dining room, a cathedral ceiling sitting room, an open fire and a guest cloak room. The glassed exterior of the family room allows both shelter and participation in the landscape beyond. For winter warmth there is also an open fire. From up above, and overlooking the formal dining area, are the Juliet windows of the guest bedroom. This has a bathroom with a toilet, a bath and basin. The house is heated by two nitestore heaters and oil filled wall heaters that are controlled by thermostats.
A large and practical eat in kitchen with a double stainless steel oven has been built for tall owners! A farm sized walk in pantry and a wood burner make a practical living area.
A laundry with old Morris and James tiles, large storage cupboards, a downstairs linen cupboard with an airing heater and ironing board, a great sized laundry bin and the hot water cylinder are located here along with a gardener's toilet and washbasin.
Along the upstairs bridge are the four remaining bedrooms. They all have double wardrobes, two of these bedrooms have beautiful Celia Allison painted walls. In the master bedroom, overlooking beautiful planted vistas, is an enormous walk in wardrobe and a large bathroom with basin, toilet, bath and separate shower.
Stunning herbaceous gardens edge mature treed surroundings. Clever plantings of hedges mean that there is no Southerly and hardly any Easterly winds.

Lesley McLellan Licensee Salesperson (REAA 2008)
Megan Jaffe Real Estate Ltd
Licensed Real Estate Salesperson (REAA 2008), Member of the REINZ
As a rookie joining one of New Zealand's most successful residential sales teams in January 1998, Lesley McLellan had a big reputation to live up to.
But not to be intimidated by the achievements of her peers, Lesley launched her new career as she meant to continue. In her first day in the job, she chalked up 31 listings. By the end of her first two weeks, she had sold five properties. Not bad considering it's not uncommon for a new agent to take weeks, months even, to make that first sale. Or that sales in Canterbury at the time were at their lowest. Even more impressive is that for most of 1998 and 1999 Lesley held the 13th slot in Canterbury.
Lesley's background before real estate was mainly teaching. She has spent 15 years involved in education in intermediate, international and private schools. She has two sons, James is 33 and Ben is 30
Lesley set up Peri Drysdale's marketing and PR department and had the privilege of driving the 2001 Clinton media coup. She left Untouched World to become the South Island Training Manager for Harcourts New Zealand.
Lesley is the Past President of the Friends of the Christchurch Arts Festival.
So what is it about Lesley that has brought such extraordinary success ? She has owned 10 houses during her years of moving around and has personally been part of 27 offers during these years! She has experienced lots of the pitfalls of buying and selling so can now be wise for you! She is a renovator, is practical and can visualise potential. She also understands the emotions of selling and buying, the process of moving on and moving in and of 'belonging' again.
Sure, there's dedication, commitment, passion, confidence, drive, honesty ... those are fundamentals no agent can survive without .Which is true to a point. But, as you will discover when you meet her, there's much more to it than that.
It's the H-Factor, the thing that says, above all else - honour your clients. Honour them for having the courage to place control of their most valuable asset in your hands.
Lesley will do everything she can to justify your faith in her.
