Your Omokoroa English Manor House...

Grace and favour will be yours when you live in an English influenced manor in a verdant park in one of Omokoroa's most beautiful country avenues near the golf course.

To create a replica English manor more English than in England you first need a park to give it perspective. This near hectare (9057m2) is just that park, dropping gently from the entrance past mature trees hugged by bulbs and over the bridge beside the pond where the willow weeps, the drive then curving up and hugging the huge hedge towards the house.

This substantial brick home exudes such serenity and sense of place it could have been transplanted from the dales rather than built here in 1997. Its northerly aspect and the way it sympathetically dominates its surroundings shows thought and planning.

Its beautiful updated interior displays appreciation that a contemporary upgrade should provide a life of luxury while respecting the heritage from which the original inspiration came. Double doors open to a lofty foyer from where timber floors extend into the formal dining room on the right and through to the kitchen and open plan living ahead. In the stunning black and white kitchen six multi paned windows run above the bench in a half hexagonal facing the garden. Cook on a seven burner "Ilve" stove with huge double oven. Gather around the massive central island. The family lounge is connected to the kitchen; and both to the patio by three sets of French doors.

The separate sitting room is deep with a high ceiling and bay window framing a garden vignette, its focal point the rose covered arch which leads to the pool. In summer throw open the doors. In winter light the new gas fire and hunker down. Dusky olive carpet here and throughout the bedrooms is a perfect foil for grey toned neutral décor.

The lower bedroom suite faces the pool. You'll hardly notice your guests dash out their door and run barefoot across the grass for a morning dip. Up your carpeted stairs you'll find a sky lit landing with double doors to a magnificent master suite where ceiling lines suggest sleeping under the eaves. The two more double bedrooms which flank a second bathroom on this floor also enjoy long garden views.

Walk the grounds and discover the pool is a full entertainment area, that layered vegetable patches will feed you all year round, supplemented by fruit from your trees. Creeper coats the wall of an extra shed in the utility area behind the house. This is a property with a timeless appeal; a peaceful refuge and a wonderful setting to share, proving the English got the concept of "home" just right.
