Lifestyle, income, privacy and style , this property is very desirable, says Bobbie Nicholls

A modern home on 2.77 ha with the benefit of a rural landscape just two minutes from Feilding CBD and 15 minutes from Palmerston North, ‘Gleneire’ has a wealth of extras for someone looking for a family home which is different from any other. Designed by architect Jack Cantlon in the late 1960s this three to five bedroom home has matured into a stylish and comfortable family home which is perfectly suited to formal or informal entertaining, inside and out. The formal dining room steps down to the generously sized lounge with a feature fireplace and wide windows which look out across the attractive private gardens. These rooms invite visitors to relax and enjoy the company and the view. The action centre of the home is the family room and kitchen which access the terrace, and the fenced kidney-shaped pool. Clever landscaping means the sunny paved terrace and cabana are surrounded by rockeries and shrubbery which morph into lawn and mature trees, beyond which are two paddocks suitable for ponies, sheep or other animals. A walk-in pantry is in addition to good storage in the chef’s kitchen which has double everything – stove, sinks and dish drawers and a servery between the workplace and the family gathering space. The house has three sunny bedrooms plus a large study alongside the front entry which could be utilised as another bedroom with its own ensuite toilet. It could equally be used for a home based business, well away from the rest of the family activities. An additional studio or extra accommodation and workshop are adjacent to the double garage. The family bathroom has a separate shower room and toilet and the master bedroom has a grand ensuite bathroom. So there are plenty of facilities to cater for the whole family and visitors. Tucked away at the rear of the double garage is a Japanese-style courtyard, a peaceful place to relax day or night. But this property has more! In addition to the house, paddocks and a transported classroom which suitable for dance classes or hobby room, there is also a second dwelling on the property. Designed and built for a relative, it has one bedroom, a sitting room, full kitchen and bathroom. A wrap-around ramp provides easy access and there is a verandah for sitting and thinking in the sun. This could be rented out by the month or as Bed and Breakfast accommodation. With plenty of off-road parking near the main house, there is also space to make a second access specifically to this cottage. It could be completely private, or part of the family accommodation. The opportunities for this Lees Road property are only limited by the imagination of the buyer.
