Country comfort
Room for the whole crowd – inside and out
Positioned to take in views of Canterbury’s Four Peaks and a private stream, this 673sq m country farmhouse boasts an exterior of cedar weatherboards and French pointed stone. Large bridge beams and posts add to the rustic look at the foyer entrance and front porch.
Double front doors open onto the polished concrete floors of the spacious foyer; you’ll find the same feature underfoot in the pantry, office, kitchen and dining rooms. The office, designed to be easily accessed from the front door, also opens into the living-dining area where a built-in open fire – with schist surround and hearth boarded with a bridge beam — echoes the home’s exterior.
Diesel underfloor heating in the living areas keeps things warm from the ground up; radiators in the bedrooms make cold nights extra cosy.
Just as much consideration has gone into outdoor living: dining‘ and lounge areas open onto the verandah where a fireplace takes the edge off chilly nights. Three-car garaging, a mud room, storeroom and large built-in laundry take the hassle out of toing and froing.
