Substantial home of over 4,400 sq ft with glorious views and adjoining paddock.

Description

In a beautiful setting, in over 5 acres of gardens and grounds, Blue Haze originally dates back to the 1930s and offers attractive, flexible, well-presented accommodation totalling over 4,000 sq ft, including the integrated double garage. The accommodation is laid out over two floors, with a substantial ground floor which offers excellent lateral space.

The spacious downstairs accommodation can be occupied in various configurations and is currently laid out to provide an entrance hall, kitchen, with a dining room directly opposite, utility room and separate WC. It has a large 40ft sitting room with a fireplace, a family snug and a conservatory providing access to the garden. There is also a south-facing glazed loggia to enjoy the views. A room just off the entrance hall would make a perfect study or additional bedroom.

To one end of the house is a downstairs bedroom, with adjoining wet room. The property has two separate staircases, each leading to its own double bedroom, with en suite facilities, as well as several built-in storage areas. In total, the property currently provides three principal bedrooms with the option of a fourth, subject to how you would use the rooms. The integral double garage has both power and light, as well as benefiting from storage above, which could provide further potential (subject to the relevant consents).

The property is tucked away off a quiet country lane. Entrance is via a private gravelled driveway, providing parking for a number of vehicles, as well as access to the double garage. The mature south-westerly facing rear garden, which can be accessed from numerous rooms within the property, has been beautifully maintained over the years, providing an array of colourful borders.

As you step down from the patio area, pathways lead you through the different areas of the terraced garden, which is bordered by mature trees.

On the west side of the property, a gateway provides access directly from the garden into the paddock, which totals approximately 4.8 acres, and has separate road access. The paddock is stock-proof, with access to water from the main house. Far-reaching countryside views can be enjoyed from any angle of both the gardens and paddock throughout the year. A very special location.
