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.
