Property details

Listing # TNK6176224 | Listed on 11 September

42 Upper Plain Road is a home with history, heart, and just the right touch of modern ease. Built in 1925, its character shines through in the original features, while updates to the kitchen and bathroom make daily life a breeze.

Step inside and you’ll find spaces that invite you to slow down. The main bedroom flows to a private garden courtyard — a peaceful corner to enjoy morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The third bedroom is a chameleon: sun room, playroom, home office or creative nook, all with views across the park-like backyard.

But it’s the outdoors that will capture you most. The back deck looks out over grounds that feel more retreat than suburban garden, with birdsong a constant soundtrack. The current owner has made a daily ritual of feeding the birds at 4pm — and sure enough, from mid-afternoon the trees begin to fill with feathered visitors.

There’s a fully lined and insulated studio tucked away at the rear, perfect for artists, makers or anyone who works from home and values space to think. Add to that a chicken run, and an unexpected delight — a reimagined inground pool, transformed into a lush fernery and hot house garden with irrigation, framed by its original decking, now a stage for quiet moments in the sun.

And just when you think it couldn’t get more versatile, a separate self-contained unit awaits. Healthy Homes compliant and complete with its own little garden, it’s ideal for generating income or offering a private haven for extended family.

Close to town, yet with a country calm that’s rare to find, 42 Upper Plain Road is a property that invites you to embrace a slower rhythm, surrounded by nature and possibility.
