Built in 1927 for Major Walpole, this remarkable country residence is a home of enduring character and exceptional presentation. Meticulously renovated throughout, it retains the integrity of its original Arts and Crafts architecture while offering the comfort and refinement of modern living.
Set within an impressive 4,256sqm (more or less), section, the property enjoys a beautiful rural outlook towards the Four Peaks, with established gardens, mature specimen trees and beautifully maintained grounds.
Extensively renovated, the home is completely rewired and replumbed, fully insulated and fitted with double glazed colonial style windows. Fresh interior and exterior paintwork, beautiful wool carpets and carefully selected finishes create a cohesive, timeless feel throughout. The new kitchen, finished in a refined neutral palette, flows naturally into the dining and main sitting room, both enjoying a lovely connection to the gardens. The exquisite sun lounge, with expansive garden facing windows, is filled with natural light. Heating is well catered for with central heating powered by a wood pellet boiler, a woodburner, open fireplace and heat pump. An original Rimu staircase leads to three bedrooms and two beautifully appointed new bathrooms, including an ensuite to the master. A further bathroom is located downstairs.
Outside, the established grounds are a natural extension of the home's country character. Garaging includes a double garage and generous carport, while an attached, fully lined and carpeted room with its own porch offers versatility as a home office, creative studio or guest retreat.
A truly special residence, where the character and craftsmanship of another era have been thoughtfully preserved and complemented by extensive, considered renovations. Rich in history and beautifully presented, this is country living with distinction.
