Five minutes from Marton, on a beautiful, scenic road, sits this lovingly restored 1920s bungalow. Turn into the enchanted forest, complete with kererū, kawakawa, and silver ferns, filled with birdsong.

The circular driveway leads you past the majestic kauri and on to the entrance. Original restored leadlight welcomes you in. A freshly painted interior, designer lighting throughout, cosy drapes and sumptuous new carpet.

Four double bedrooms, all with wall heaters, HRV and heat transfer. One — currently the home office — bathed in sunshine with French doors opening onto the north facing patio. Through the barn door into the spacious dining and lounge, warmed by afternoon sun and large wood burner. Into the huge farmhouse kitchen, with laundry compactly tucked behind doors. Brand-new dishwasher and double oven with gas cooktop, all ready for family entertaining.

Outside, the private backyard with vege plot ready for spring. Through the gate, the raceway and paddock provide space for the sheep, miniature pony, or simply room for the kids to run free. Fossick the front paddock under the old walnut tree.

Outbuildings for the man cave or garden shed, plus four-bays for firewood and storage.

Watch the sunrise over the ranges — capped with snow in midwinter — unspoilt, rolling green paddocks to the north, relaxing as the sun sets to the west.

All this and more, ready to raise your family in the tranquillity of country living from a bygone era.
