Executive Character Residence

Positioned in a sought-after Mid-Canterbury location, this elegant two-storey character home offers a rare opportunity to secure a residence steeped in history and timeless charm. Built circa 1929 and coming to the market for the first time in 36 years, this much-loved home has had only three family owners in nearly a century - a true testament to its enduring appeal.

Set on a substantial 1,695sqm (more or less) section with the peaceful presence of ‘Mill Creek’ bordering the property, this is a sanctuary of space, comfort, and refined living. The established grounds frame the home beautifully, while a charming garden bridge and a large heated swimming and paddling pool elevate the outdoor experience.

Walk under the portico, step inside, and you’ll be welcomed by a grand entranceway that immediately sets the tone. The lower level delivers incredible versatility: a large Billiard room currently used as an office, a formal dining room that flows seamlessly to a spacious living area, and a second separate lounge or TV room for privacy or relaxation.

The heart of the home is a well-appointed kitchen, practical and central, it’s perfectly suited for both everyday living and entertaining. Also on the ground floor: a family bathroom, a dedicated laundry with outdoor access, a Cloak room, and exceptional storage.

A unique feature is the sun-drenched studio located halfway up the staircase - ideal for remote work, study, or creative pursuits. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms offer peaceful retreat, including the master suite with its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. A second bathroom and toilet service this level, along with a spacious landing and a large flexible storage room.

Warm and inviting year-round, the home features diesel radiator heating, a high-output log fire, and double glazing throughout - apart from the north-facing upstairs rooms, laundry, and bay window in the dining area.

Outside, the fully fenced backyard is private and picturesque, dotted with garden sheds and storage, while a double garage and ample off-street parking at the front ensure everyday convenience. The solid Rockcote exterior finish provides enduring durability and timeless street appeal.

Homes of this calibre - combining space, style, history, and location are seldom available. Genuine and serious enquiry is encouraged.
