121 Enfield Drive, Pakipaki, Hastings, Hawke’s Bay, 4172, New Zealand

Access is by a private tree-lined driveway with extensive views across the Plains to Te Mata Peak, Napier and the pacific, while retaining privacy. Designed by Andrew Patterson for a family who loves to entertain, the home is built around a central courtyard accessed through bi-fold doors from all living areas, this can become one continuous central entertainment space.

 

Upstairs is a generous master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, en-suite, private balcony, a second bedroom with its own bathroom. Offering an option to add a kitchen to convert this into a self-contained space with direct entry. Off the master or another staircase, above the main living, is a large office and sewing room.

 

The family room that expands to the central courtyard includes an open-plan kitchen with island bench, large walk-in pantry. A large box window showcases stunning views of the bay; it is easy to imagine relaxing here. A spectacular dining room grand enough to host thirty guests sits in pride of place at the centre of the home, only a few steps away from the kitchen. A third private drawing room means there is always somewhere to escape to.

 

Completed by a double garage with internal access via a large cloakroom, as well as an internal tool room and two sheds.

 

The current owners are avid gardeners and their hard work has become a subject of interest from the Hawke’s Bay gardening community. The 1.43 ha include extensive woodlands, a private pond, a grass tennis court and a croquet lawn.

 

Enfield Drive is within easy reach of the twin cities, Havelock North, airport, and all the facilities that Hawke’s Bay has to offer including world-class wineries, cycle trails and miles of sandy beaches.
