Overview

Out of the ordinary

Sold under the hammer. Set back from Johns Road slip road, down a tree-lined driveway, is an elegant, classic home architecturally designed by Stewart Ross and built in 1999 it is known as Fernbush. This secluded sanctuary with private nooks and decks placed for maximum sunlight and views of the native bush enables complete relaxation to listen to the bird life on this 3,299sqm. The quality is evident throughout. The upstairs main bedroom with balcony has a built-in dressing room leading to a bathroom. A wide-spaced gallery leads to the second double bedroom and a spacious sitting room with a balcony overlooking the bush. Built-in Rimu joinery creates a study area in the gallery. Downstairs, a spacious guest double bedroom with an ensuite opens to the deck with French doors. The large, high-ceiling entry with flagstones leads to the kitchen/open-plan dining room with large windows and views of the bush and doors to the formal lounge. It has an attached two-car garage and one-car garage workshop with a large living area above the garage, plus there is a front driveway boatshed/campervan garage and a rear storage garden shed. The poolhouse on the western boundary has a concrete paved entertainment area with a large living space plus a kitchenette, toilet and shower. It is the grounds that define Fernbush. Established landscaping, rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias soften the architecture, while mature native bush to the rear is irrigated and largely self-sustaining. A meandering stream winds through the lower garden, crossed by two bridges and accompanied by birdsong, creating an atmosphere of quiet seclusion rarely found so close to Christchurch. Access has been significantly improved by the newly created slip road, preserving privacy while ensuring convenience for commuters and travellers. Homes of this nature are seldom offered to the open market. Architectural authorship, mature landscapes and multi-building living unite to create a home that is both functional and poetic, equally suited to families, entertainers and those seeking a private Christchurch base.
