Behind the tall white fence and electric gate stands a pretty Wedgewood Blue house spreading out into a 921sqm, glorious garden, a flourishing, verdant sanctuary, a completely private refuge from the world outside! Our clever creative owners have worked their magic here after their return from London a little over five years ago. They have renovated the interior without compromise and established an English styled garden with advice and landscaping from recognised designers. The end result is quite simply breathtaking!

Wide borders reminiscent of the Chelsea Flower Show are brimming with lavender and many other perennials. Glossy Magnolia line the driveway. Fruit trees including pear, apple, lemon, and apricot are dotted around, and a Kiwi fruit vine sprawls over a pergola providing welcome shade. A flowering cherry tree forms a natural umbrella over outdoor seating and dining. An expanse of lawn leaves plenty of room for play and raised beds are tucked to the side filled with edibles. Natives planted densely street side is a favourite nostalgic spot for our now returned expat owners!

Inside, the charm and elegance continues. Wide bifolds have replaced old wooden joinery, but the exquisite Mondrian front entrance of this 1930s design has of course been preserved. Stylish open plan kitchen and scullery step through to dining extending almost into the garden beyond, and two living areas, formal and less formal, Summer and Winter, have a heat pump and wood burner. The five bedrooms are strategically positioned, some up, some down, and two have luxurious ensuites.

Situated at the foot of Cashmere, so close to our beloved Port Hills, this area is always in demand with geographic, retail and academic drawcards. Those who revel in an active lifestyle keenly seek out this area with its proximity to all that is on offer. There is a flourishing cafe society, and if you haven't discovered Butterfly and Scotch, the marvellous Cashmere Butchery yet, that's a treat in store! The highly acclaimed South Chch Farmers Market is a three minute walk on Sundays, and if schooling is a priority, the property is in zone for Thorrington Primary and sought after Cashmere High.

Our serious sellers are embarking on a new venture with a move closer to the sea and are ready to pass this to another. This is a lovely home in a beautiful setting with a very functional layout. Come and see for yourself. We are sure you will be impressed!
