256 Leadleys Road, Prebbleton, Selwyn, Canterbury, 7674, New Zealand

If you’ve ever dreamed of your own country manor, you can stop dreaming. Inspired by traditional English style architecture, this grand home on 4 acres (approximately) has been built with space in mind.

 

The large entrance hall creates an instant impression, and offers access to the open plan kitchen, dining and living area which is bathed in afternoon sun and enjoys views over the pond and orchard. Alternatively, you can usher your guests directly into the separate formal lounge which also enjoys rural views and is heated with a gas fire. The rest of the house is toasty warm too, with four heat pumps and underfloor heating in selected rooms.

 

Downstairs is also the master bedroom with en-suite and two other large bedrooms, a further bathroom and separate toilet, separate laundry, and copious amounts of storage.

 

Exploring upstairs, things get even more interesting, with another huge bedroom, an office, and a third bathroom. Then we come to the rumpus room – a massive space, an ideal hangout for teenagers or it could easily be used as a fifth bedroom. It leads through to yet another large room above the garage which is fully insulated and permitted, and would make a great hobby room or another office.

 

Venture outside and the surprises of this property just keep on coming. There is a two bay barn, with one bay used as a lock-up shed serviced by three phase power. A huge orchard with an incredible variety of trees provides enormous quantities of fruit. Then, if you have fantasies of producing your own wine, there is your very own vineyard, already producing an average 600 bottles per year. Bottoms up!

 

This a very rare opportunity to purchase a truly enchanting property in a premium location, right on the doorstep of Prebbleton and very close to the city, so early viewing and decisive action is recommended.
