LOCATION LOCATION

A three bedroom home on a 1290m section in a desirable part of Marton offers a family a lifestyle choice without the livestock knowledge required of a caring for stock on a larger block. From the time you enter the front door to a carpeted foyer, this split level home shows it has everything a family requires: Three good sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, separate lounge and dining rooms a modern kitchen and a large laundry. In addition it has very good storage making use of all the vacant places under stairs and in roof spaces. Every family needs these spaces for storing out-of-season clothes, sports equipment and suitcases. The laundry is large enough to hold a second fridge and freezer near to the kitchen, and there is a good sized pantry for daily food storage. In the kitchen bottled gas supplies the hob while the oven is electric and the whole room is freshly decorated with modern fittings. A heat pump is a supplement to the log fire in the lounge and the heat rises up the short staircase to the bedrooms. Door and window frames of stained wood give the house a classic décor style which would suit modern or antique furniture, and wide windows allow plenty of light and sunshine. From the dining room French doors lead to a barbeque terrace which catches all day sun while on a slightly lower level, the lounge opens into the private rear garden with a sheltered seating area. This is a very peaceful garden with plenty of room for children to play and a rural outlook. A small ride-on mower is available to keep the easy care section tidy, and the hen house occupants are also keen to stay. Two beehives provide honey which, with the eggs from the hens and the produce from the diverse orchard of fruit trees and the vegetable garden can help feed the family, as well as teach children responsibility for animals and plants. Nearby to outdoor entertainment areas the potting shed waits to be developed in accordance with the new owners’ interests, as a fernery or pant nursery to display begonias or fuchsias or grow tomatoes, or children would enjoy using this structure as a venue for imaginative play. Teens may even hang out there with friends in summer. As well as the double garage with internal access there is an additional single garage and workshop which presently holds the winter supply of fire wood. It is a great place for indulging in hobbies which involve wood or engines. Marton is only half an hour from either Palmerston North or Wanganui, and even closer to Ohakea Air Force Base and Feilding. There are good schools close to this property which is one of the most desirable streets in Marton. It is well worth a visit to see what your money will buy in Rangitikei.
