Set well back off the road on 4.19 hectares (more or less) this country home offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience.

The three-bedroom residence exudes character - immediately noticeable as you mount the steps to the covered verandah. French doors open into the welcoming lounge and through to a separate dining room or second lounge. The three bedrooms are serviced by a renovated bathroom and laundry. The home has been extensively renovated over its 100 plus years but retains its old world charm.

The functional kitchen has access out to a sunny entertaining deck - a perfect setting for morning coffee or alfresco dining. The home stays cosy and snug on colder days with a large log burner in the lounge. Ample firewood is sourced from the properties shelter belt.

The house is perfectly framed by a beautiful mature garden. A pergola walkway, draped in climbing plants leads between flowering borders to the front steps. Sweeping lawns are fringed with tall mature trees - including some stunning redwoods. Roses, delphiniums, lillies etc fill the borders and perfume the air.

An extensive vegetable garden, fruit trees, room for hens, horses or cattle make this an idyllic lifestyle property. An impressive array of outbuildings provides a studio, workshop and garaging with room for everything.

The Courtenay Stream winds through the property adding even more appeal to this conveniently located property just minutes from the Northern Motorway with easy access into Christchurch or north to Kaiapoi, Rangiora and further. The Waimakariri is only minutes away for boating, swimming, walking and biking - great for the family, dog walking and horse riding.

This appealing property will not last long - make sure you view it but be prepared to be enchanted!
