Alongside the house is a collection of outbuildings which include a double garage with an office and plenty of storage and workspace, two standalone storage sheds, a wood shed, plus a high-roofed carport with 3 phase power for the current owners’ motor home.
Zoned for sought-after decile 9 Clevedon School, the property is handily situated for families with young children.

Jay Singh from Ray White, Manukau is an acknowledged Clevedon specialist with a great affinity for the area.
He says that despite being about 80sqm the house doesn’t feel small at all.
“The owners have done such a lovely job with their renovations and put so much thought into the utilisation of space. They didn’t do it with selling in mind, but rather, they did it for themselves and I think that really shows.”
Singh adds that all the outbuildings make this property an especially attractive prospect.
