50 Kimber Street, Halcombe, Manawatu 1900s Villa with farmhouse feel

With properties and land selling fast in Halcombe this 4-bedroom property is a must view. With a motivated vendor and a recent price drop this charming country home is priced to sell. There's still room to add value by adding a garage and further upgrading the kitchen.

All the hard work has been done with only a few small finishing touches needed to make this home yours - it has a new Colorsteel roof, new Colorsteel fence, new wiring throughout, new plumbing, new Infinity gas system, new piles, new land-based dispersal septic system, new gibbing - and all fully consented by Council. You can decide whether to polish the original rimu floors throughout or to lay carpet.

Although modernised this villa still has all its original character with 16-foot-high ceilings, double hung sash windows, bay window, original stained-glass doors, rimu floors and the house was originally built from totara. It's set on an acre (more or less) of well-established gardens and paddocks.

With four large bedrooms there's no fighting amongst the kids for the biggest room, all with lovely views out to the garden. Big family lounge adjoins an updated kitchen leading out onto an all-weather deck. The bathroom is simply stunning, with heated floor tiles, spacious waterfall shower, and a clawfoot bath you can soak in with views to the garden and Mt Ruapehu. Insulation in ceiling and in all walls. Huge log fire in the lounge to keep the family toasty all winter and the high ceilings keep you cool in the summer. The laundry has the all-important second toilet with space for a second freezer.

Outside there's a chook house with a large run, space for sheep and with fruit trees galore. There's a dedicated vege garden, glass house and shade house. There are also 2 big ex shearing sheds perfect for storing your lawn mower and tools. Power has been run out to the sheds but not connected.

While there's no garage onsite there's space for a double garage out front and space for an archgola on the side.
