Originally built in the 1880s, this was the farmhouse for the area, positioned on the land to make the most of the sun, flat terrain and shelter; the garden has its own micro-climate. The current owners spent more than two years having the house rebuilt, and what you have today is a building that has been renewed from the foundations up, with the style and quality of finishes that give it an elegance that is very European. And all this comes with the Master Builder Guarantee. The return veranda has French doors to the garden from the kitchen, drawing room and library. The same French doors are throughout the house and where they lead to private rooms, they are mirrored. Skylights in the main areas are of the same design. The service areas have the best of European equipment and appliances. The three bathrooms are all marble tiled. The main living areas and bedroom suites are tongue and groove. There are 3-4 bedrooms depending on how you wish to use the spaces. The master bedroom has wonderful morning sun and views over the Portland valley. Sun is in the main rooms for most of the day, and on the garden and pool well into early evening. The downstairs living area, with private entry, is perfect for a nanny, elderly parent, or independent teen. From the road all you will see are the chimneys, the roof line and the top of one of the garden pagodas. You are in your own world here whether it be the garden or the house. Peace, privacy, calm and beauty. To View More Images, Visit - https://www.37bellroad.co.nz/
