This 333-square-metre double-glazed home is a rare find so close to Rangiora – so you can enjoy the tranquility of the country with the convenience of a fully serviced town nearby.

Indoor-outdoor flow

The sprawling deck goes around a substantial part of the house. The kitchen, with its new flooring, flows seamlessly to the dining area, and then on to a small sitting room – the perfect spot for afternoon reading.

There is gas hot water (heat only what you use) and the cooktop is also gas. The oven is electric.

The dining room, sitting room, and the generous lounge alongside all have sliding doors out onto the deck, providing a great spot to watch the sun set.

There is near new solution-dyed nylon carpet throughout the house.

Bedrooms

The four bedrooms are huge, with a walk-in wardrobe and fully featured ensuite serving the master bedroom. The other three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. The two north-facing bedrooms, as well as the master bedroom, have direct access through sliding doors on to the deck.

The study can also be used as another bedroom if needed, and has its own double wardrobe.

Bathrooms

The master bedroom is serviced by its own ensuite with external access. There is also a separate toilet and a bathroom with a shower and spa bath.

Heating

The house, built around the years 2000 by local builders with a long-standing reputation for quality, is fully insulated, including under the floor slab.

Inside, there are two Daikin heatpumps and two gas fires. The hallway is pre-piped for an additional gas heater.

There is gas hot water (heat only what you use) and the cooktop is also gas. The oven is electric.

Storage and amenities

The previous owners used ADSL broadband (copper cable). The current occupier is getting good service with the wireless service offered by Spark. This service also includes a phone connection.

There is garaging for three cars, and there’s also a fully plumbed wash area and work bench.

The laundry is the envy of everyone who sees it. It’s huge, with plenty of bench space and a walk-in utility storeroom that can hold a lot of the clutter that often ends up in the garage.

Similarly, there is excellent storage in cupboards along the hallway.

Flooring

The house has near-new solution-dyed nylon carpet, with the kitchen and dining area recently resurfaced with vinyl planking. The bathroom, ensuite, toilet and laundry are tiled.
