Set within established grounds and bordered by Mill Creek, this private two-storey home offers a rare sense of seclusion in central Ashburton. Built circa 1940 and carefully maintained, the property combines character and scale.
The home opens to a generous entrance hall, leading to well-proportioned living spaces including a formal dining room, sitting room, and a separate den or sunroom. A substantial ground-floor room provides flexibility as a fourth bedroom, office, or library. The kitchen is practical and well-positioned for everyday living and entertaining, supported by a family bathroom, laundry with external access, cloakroom, and ample storage.
Midway up the staircase is a light-filled studio or office space. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms are arranged around a central landing, including a master suite with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. A second bathroom services the remaining bedrooms, with an additional box room for storage.
Year-round comfort is provided by diesel radiator heating, a high-output log fire, and extensive double glazing. The grounds feature mature trees, formal gardens, fruit trees, herb beds, and a heated swimming pool with paddling area. A small bridge crossing Mill Creek enhances the sense of privacy and connection to the setting.
Additional features include a double garage, wide driveway with space for a boat or caravan, generous off-street parking, and supplementary storage buildings. The roughcast exterior over concrete block ensures long-term reliability, with recent exterior repainting completed.
Held for 37 years, this is a substantial, well-established property offering privacy, versatility, and enduring appeal. Inspection is recommended for genuinely interested parties.
