Property Description

Nestled in a tranquil, park-like setting, this deceptively appealing home beautifully defies its 1970s origins. Every room is generously proportioned and features lovely, polished timber floors and wide, colonial-style windows, adding warmth, character and ambience throughout.

The living and dining area is a true highlight, with a charming window servery that opens directly to the kitchen, perfect for effortless entertaining (
"top up, anyone"?) while keeping conversations flowing. Extending from the living space is an additional deep, versatile room currently used as an office and music room, but equally suited as a day room, separate dining area, or spare room for guests or children.

Year-round enjoyment is on offer here. In spring and summer, the easy-care garden provides a wonderful space for children and grandchildren to play, surrounded by established trees and lush foliage. Come autumn and winter, the home offers excellent natural shelter, while inside, the 'Woodsman' wood burner (installed in 2020) ensures many years of cosy, comfortable living ahead.

A superb opportunity for first or second home buyers, as well as retirees seeking space, warmth and a peaceful lifestyle (and with a workshop in addition to the double garage, a 'Man's-cave' is already provided).

Documents available will include: Title, Building Inspection Report, EQC files, Insurance Certificate et al.

View at Open Homes (as advertised on-line) or by private inspection (please contact Philip on 027-210 0743 - text is preferred).

Deadline for offers: 4pm Wednesday 25th February 2026, Harcourts, Holmwood Real Estate, 397 Ilam Rd, Bryndwr, Christchurch (unless brought forward).
