3 Deans Avenue, Chch

Set across 4.786 hectares on the edge of Oxford, this renovated homestead combines the substance of a lifestyle block with the comfort and refinement of a full-scale renovation.

During their five-year tenure, every element of the home has been thoughtfully renewed, preserving its original character against a backdrop of mature trees, sweeping lawns and formal gardens that echo the English countryside.

Beyond its timeless facade, the layout has been reworked for modern living without losing its structure, with cornices, a ceiling rose, lead lights, tongue-and-groove panelling, and dado rails holding true to the home's original craftsmanship.

The country-style kitchen, complete with a scullery, anchors the dining and family living room, drawing you toward the deck where dining, daylight and the quiet pace of rural living come naturally.

A separate formal lounge retains its traditional tone, with a window seat framing views to the distant hills and doors that allow separation when quiet or company calls for it.

Accommodation extends across four double bedrooms, with the master incorporating its own sitting area, creating a distinctively private domain.

Bathrooms on both floors, each fitted with a bath, reinforce the home's practicality for family life, while a separate laundry, retrofit double glazing, Daikin ducted heating, heat pump, and log fire ensure warmth and comfort through every season.

Outdoors, the gardens give way to working land, complete with a barn, workshop, hen house and eight paddocks suited to livestock or hobby farming, while a double garage and an additional single garage offer space for vehicles, storage, or projects.

Set under ten minutes from Oxford and an easy forty-minute commute from the city, this property delivers on every level and will attract lifestyle seekers who value authentic countryside character.
