20 Scott Street, Blenheim
Having been in the same family for 70 years, this character homestead is privately located amidst established gardens, mature trees and 18 acres of bare flat land in two titles, a five-minute drive from town services. It provides opportunity to create the ultimate Marlborough lifestyle.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom weatherboard bungalow boasts a country kitchen, a dining room opening to a large sitting room, enjoying an open fire and garden views. Beautifully crafted joinery and Rimu floorboards offer character while LED lighting and additional insulation add efficiency and comfort.
A covered wisteria-framed terrace overlooks lawn and a perfect rolly polly slope down to the tennis court. Well-established shrubs and perennials provide low maintenance borders while a range of Impressive old trees offer shade, shelter and climbing fun for the young at heart. An orchard and raised corten steel vegetable gardens help keep the larder full.
Adjacent to the house, there is a garage workshop and a garden shed. Located a little further away is a stable and barn plus a cob whare in amazing condition, purportedly built by early settler Constance Dillon. The house is on one 2.25 ha title while the balance of 5 ha is currently in pasture. Water is sourced from a bore on the property.
In a country setting but handy to town services and the airport, this is a very attractive rural lifestyle option, an appealing slice of the good life in New Zealand's sunniest region.
