19D Mission Road, Kerikeri, Far North, Northland, 0230, New Zealand
This charming English-style ‘modern manor’ is a nod to yesteryear, with all the benefits of being built only 20 years ago. No stone was left unturned by the renowned builder Archie Grayson, when this gracious character home and accompanying ‘barn’ was constructed in 1999.
The elegant design is built of quality materials with white-painted brick, beautiful native timber flooring & features throughout. The ground floor consists of a grand entrance leading to a stunning chef’s kitchen & dining area. The kitchen is something to behold with impressive bench space, quality appliances, views through bi-fold doors over the impeccably manicured gardens & expansive lawn. A pergola area is ideally situated for outdoor dining .The spacious lounge, also with full length bi-folds opening out onto the large deck, is light & airy & is a delightful space to enjoy the conversational setting through the summer months or gather around the fire in winter evenings, with family and friends.
This accommodation offers many options with all three double bedrooms ensuited. The ground floor consists of a large double bedroom, opening to the sunny deck and garden, with large ensuite. There is a second single bedroom or office, laundry & an internal garage. Upstairs is the vast master bedroom, with ensuite, private Juliet balcony and twin dressing rooms that have to be seen to be believed! The large third double bedroom includes kitchenette & ensuite, perfect for guests who like their space.
The adjacent barn is full of character, and provides a third carpark, large studio to one side & workshop to the other. A conversion to additional accommodation is an option with B&B potential or special guest house.
The grounds are private, generous & beautifully planted utilising the volcanic soils. A variety of fruit & macadamia trees flourish from the original orchard. This peaceful retreat has the touch of an English stately garden & the space for a pool or tennis court if one so desires.
