Tucked down a private lane and set high on the hill, this is one of those Flagstaff homes that reveals itself slowly. First the quiet approach, then the outlook, then the realisation that there is far more room here than you expected.

Modern in build and bones, finished in brick and linea, and north-facing with double glazing throughout, the home offers two generous living areas that give a family somewhere to gather and somewhere to retreat. The main living space is the heart of it: open, inviting, and framed by a horizon that turns golden in the late afternoon. It opens straight out to the deck, so summer entertaining happens across the inside and out rather than in one crowded room.

The kitchen sits at the centre of the action with a scullery tucked in behind it, the kind of layout that lets you host without an audience for the mess. Five bedrooms follow, all well proportioned, with the fifth working equally well as a home office or a teenager’s hideaway.

The master is a proper retreat, with an ensuite that is genuinely spacious rather than technically ensuite. Storage has been considered throughout, including a separate laundry that does not eat into the double garage and a walk in linen cupboard families will love.

Outside, the fences have been freshly painted and the landscaping kept deliberately simple: low care now, with a blank canvas for whatever you have in mind. There is real room for a pool, with easy access over the back fence to get one in.

Then there is the address. Hare Puke Park and playground on your doorstep, Archie's café and Borman bakery within a walk, and schools, shops and everyday convenience close at hand.

During the current owners’ time here, the flooring and carpet have been refreshed, so there is nothing waiting on you. The groundwork has been done. The sunsets are yours.
