A charming tree-lined driveway welcomes you to this thoughtfully positioned home, nestled in the seclusion of a rear location on a generously proportioned 6-hectares.

This two-story residence, spanning approximately 340sqm, is a testament to quality craftsmanship, boasting bespoke features throughout. The four double bedrooms, two of which include ensuites, are adorned with stunning Travertine stone floors in the recently renovated bathrooms, providing a touch of luxury.

A standout feature of this property is the recent English Orangery extension, featuring a beautiful kitchen and dining area accentuated by a glass atrium. Natural light pours into this central hub, creating a perfect space for star-gazing or enjoying the soothing patter of rain. The kitchen is complemented by a scullery, a living area with a log burner, and a formal lounge featuring a gas fire. Additionally, a spacious rumpus room above the garage adds versatility, perfect as a kids' retreat.

The home boasts noteworthy features, including German Oak flooring, eight heat pumps, under tile heating in all bathrooms, and the elegant touch of Nina Campbell wallpaper.

Surrounded by established grounds adorned with blossom trees and daffodils, this property offers excellent shelter and privacy. Multiple outdoor entertaining areas provide perfect settings for alfresco dining while the rose garden features arches modelled on the ones found in Hagley Park.

The irrigated orchard showcases heritage varieties such as apples, pears, peaches, plums, blackcurrants, gooseberries, walnuts, hazelnuts, and almond trees. Completing the picture is a four-bay shed, cattle yards with a load-out ramp, seven well-fenced paddocks, and a private water bore.

Conveniently located, the West Melton Village retail centre is approximately four minutes away, and Christchurch International Airport is a mere 20-minute drive.
