4 bed · 2 bath · raked-ceiling in the living room · three decks · piped gas · fully fenced corner section 552m² · parking for 6+ cars · zoned and walkable distance to Lemonwood Grove School and Rolleston College
Some Faringdon homes look alike from the street, not this one. Step through the schist entry of this home to find a soaring rake ceiling over the open-plan living room with a chandelier at its centre. Picture your Saturday morning here with the kids on the lawn, a coffee on the deck while the whole room fills with sunshine. It's the space your family will grow up in, and the one every visitor remembers.
The kitchen is built for cooking with company, with a long engineered-stone island housing a gas cooktop, teal glass splashback, quality appliances from brands like Smeg and Fisher & Paykel, and a walk-in pantry that keeps the benches clear. Dinner flows straight out the slider onto the big rear deck — summer sorted.
At the quiet end of the house, the master has its own deck for the first coffee of the day, a walk-in robe and an ensuite. Two bedrooms sit together at the front for the kids, and the fourth beside the living room makes an easy home office or nursery. The main bathroom is a highlight — freestanding bath under a mosaic feature wall, tiled shower and heated towel rail.
Outside is where this corner section earns its keep. The whole property is fully fenced, so children and pets are secure, and the living spaces are private from the street. The gardens have been completely redone with weed mat, stones and bark, so the hard work is behind you. Raised vegetable beds ready for your own fresh vegetables and borders of ranunculus and calendula coming into flower this spring. Nothing to do but enjoy it.
Parking is a genuine strength. The wide driveway holds four or more cars plus two in the carpeted double garage, and because you're on the corner there's ample street parking along two frontages when friends come over for a barbecue.
The practical things are right too. Built by Bainbridge Homes in 2019 — approximately 174m² including the garage. Reticulated gas runs the hot water and cooktop, so no bottles to swap. Double-glazed aluminium joinery and a heat pump keep the living area warm through a Canterbury winter. The garage doubles as a gym, workshop or teenage retreat with its fitted laundry and storage.
Refreshed for sale, 2026: full repaint · new garage carpet and laundry · new Zebra blinds throughout · new door hardware · decks sanded and re-oiled · gardens re-laid. There is nothing left to do but move in.
And the school run? Lemonwood Grove School and Rolleston College are both under 800m on foot, and you're zoned for both.
Deadline sale closes 3 pm, Wednesday 7 October 2026 — offers may be considered prior.
