Character PLUS - A Must See

This grand old lady was built in 1911 in Dannevirke and relocated to her current spot thirty years ago. She has been lovingly restored to her former glory, with all the hard work completed since then. Offered for sale for the first time in seventeen years, it is now time for our vendor to pass this property on to a new family to cherish and enjoy.

A breathtaking site, you could just sit outside this beauty all day and admire her, or wander inside to take in the grandness of yesteryear and all the special features to behold whilst imagining you and your family being the lucky new owners. There is plenty of room indoors and out for the children to run around playing hide and seek, and to accommodate and entertain guests.

High stud and spacious rooms, wide hallways and a grand staircase that sweeps up to the special turret are just some of the delights of this property, together with native timbers. The house has been modernized in parts within keeping in mind the age and era of the home. The kitchen has been updated as well as the bathroom and an ensuite has been added to one of the front bedrooms. There is some double glazing throughout the home and an HRV and a security system has been installed, as has new carpet throughout. There is a fireplace in the living room that vents to the master bedroom and hallway, as well as a gas fireplace in the family living room and underfloor insulation as well as ceiling, so the home is warm and cosy. The family living room flows into the spacious modern kitchen and out through the conservatory to the garden maze. Opening through French doors from the dining room and a half-sash window in the lounge is a large deck with amazing unobstructed views of farmland and mountains such as Pirongia and Kakepuku, which you can enjoy whilst relaxing in the spa pool. Taranaki can be spied on a clear day from the turret as can 360 degree views.

The property is spread over two acres (approx) with manicured easy care gardens. There are lots of different areas to enjoy such as a maze, a secret garden, native plantings and two paddocks. There is a chicken run, a vegetable garden and plenty of shedding. A double garage sits alongside the house for the family vehicles.
Only a five minute drive to Leamington shops and ten minutes to Cambridge Township, this property is located in a special spot where you feel like you've left the world behind, with the convenience of having all amenities close by.
This home is much admired with an undeniable presence, opportunities like this seldom arise.
