This warm and welcoming lifestyle home combines practical living with the appeal of a more relaxed lifestyle all within easy access to Christchurch.

The kitchen has plenty of personality, with its vivid red splashback, breakfast bar, pantry and generous cabinetry. It flows into a light-filled dining area, complete with a heat pump and sliding doors opening to the patio and garden, ideal for entertaining. A separate lounge provides another place to relax, with a wood burner, wide windows and leafy outlooks creating a cosy retreat during the cooler months.

All three extra-large bedrooms are tucked along a separate hallway, each enjoying a garden outlook. The main bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, while the family bathroom, a separate WC, dedicated laundry and built-in storage add to the home’s everyday practicality.

Outside is where this property really comes into its own. Established trees, flowering borders and expansive lawns provide a lovely setting, while the large vegetable garden, abundance of fruit trees and the glasshouse will appeal to those who enjoy growing their own produce. There’s also a chook run for those wanting fresh eggs.

For those with livestock in mind, the property features 9 paddocks, all with electric fencing, water troughs and gates, along with stock yards complete with a cattle crush. It’s a practical setup with plenty of flexibility for managing animals.

Storage and workspace are well catered for, with two hay sheds, a 12mx7m Totalspan shed with power, two container storage units and a selection of additional sheds for equipment, tools and general storage. Whether you have animals, are a contractor needing space, like gardening projects, or room for hobbies, there’s plenty of scope to make the most of the space.

Enjoy the space and freedom of lifestyle living, with West Melton’s amenities nearby and The Hub Hornby and Matatiki Hornby Centre offering convenient access to shopping, library services and swimming facilities.
