South Taranaki Star

Rural appeal close to Hawera

- By Mike Shaw

Expansive rural, sea and mountain views combined with a designerst­yle home to capture Richard and Ginny five years ago.

They quickly decided to make their next chapter of life here at 56a Denby Rd, Hawera.

You can’t miss this home with its dramatic curving rooflines, located on a sweeping curve of Denby Rd halfway between Hawera and the seafront at Waihi Beach.

Richard and Ginny appreciate­d the appeal of this location, just minutes from either town services or the beach.

The area’s popularity is confirmed by the recent developmen­t of a niche rural subdivisio­n nearby, creating a small community enjoying the peace and green surroundin­gs of the country environmen­t.

The residents here can also enjoy the opportunit­y to walk the

Denby Rd pathway running past here to Waihi Beach; a second pathway breaks away to run across farmland and connect with Fairfield Rd.

Space, inside and out, is another feature of this property.

The house is a two-storey, fourbedroo­m home of 210sqm on 1394sqm of fenced and landscaped grounds.

The home’s curved rooflines make a statement on arrival, the lower curve covering the double garage and front entry, with the upper curve capping the bedrooms above.

The recessed entry features dark-stained cedar boards as a contrast to the lighter mustard shade of the textured panels on the rest of the house.

A similar cedar feature is found at the back of the house.

Inside the front door, there’s an easy flow from the foyer/hallway through lounge, dining and kitchen-family areas.

That latter area has access out into a spacious tiled conservato­ry, which is one of Richard and Ginny’s favourite spaces with its striking view of Taranaki Maunga rising in the distance.

The kitchen is a generous space, well able to cater to family life and entertaini­ng. New Miele hobs and wall oven have recently been fitted.

Most of the house enjoys the comfort of carpet, but there is easy-care, timber-finished flooring through the kitchen and dining areas.

A wood-pellet fire in the main lounge keeps the home warm in winter with the help of a heattransf­er system.

Having several living area choices adds to the convenienc­e of life here – there’s space to get together as well as spaces to enjoy different activities when that’s wanted.

From the conservato­ry, you can step out into the landscaped grounds, where the first-time visitor will have to admire the manicured presentati­on.

That embraces closely mown lawns, well-bordered gardens laid with pebbles for minimal maintenanc­e, establishe­d shrubs and trees, trellis fence panels creating garden ‘rooms’, and a cute garden shed with a log-look cladding.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, each with its own combinatio­n of colour and feature wallpaper.

One bedroom has the bonus of a private balcony, from which you can look out over the gardens to a panorama of pasture and mountain peak.

Bayleys consultant­s Alison Smith and Karla Kimi are marketing the property.

‘‘This is a beautiful home where the indoors and outdoors align for the perfect peaceful family home,’’ they say.
