This is the kind of Allenton property buyers wait for. Set on a generous 916m² section with a 110m² floor plan, it offers the balance so many are chasing right now: manageable home, supersized backyard. Ideal for first-home buyers wanting land, downsizers who still value a garden, or investors planning a long-term hold in a proven Ashburton location.

Step inside and the living room immediately feels settled and comfortable. A freestanding log burner forms the heart of the space, with a heat pump installed for easy year-round climate control. Large windows invite in natural light and keep you visually connected to the greenery outside. The dining area sits adjacent, wrapped in glazing, creating a sunny nook for everyday meals while maintaining easy flow to the lounge and through to the kitchen.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully redecorated with white cabinetry, generous bench space, tiled splashback, modern appliances and a coffee station. There’s excellent storage throughout, and the layout is practical and efficient. Both bedrooms are genuine doubles with built-in wardrobes and peaceful outlooks. The bathroom has a sleek glass shower, modern vanity and clean-lined finishes, while a separate toilet enhances functionality. A dedicated laundry room keeps things organised and out of sight. There is nothing to do, just move in and live.

Outdoors, the flat, fully fenced backyard offers expansive lawn, established garden beds, veggie plots and space for pets, play or future plans. A standalone garage and long driveway provide secure parking and ample off-street space. There’s room here to to make this outdoor space your own.

Allenton continues to be one of Ashburton’s most desirable neighbourhoods, appreciated for its established feel, wide streets and proximity to schools, shops and everyday amenities. Sections of this size are getting harder to secure.

If land, location and long-term potential matter to you, Linda McCarthy would love to show you through.
