Generous grounds, family-sized proportions, and an easy approach to country living combine across 5,783sqm to strike the sweet spot between space and simplicity.

Mature hedging and established gardens establish the property's sense of arrival, creating a level of shelter, peace and seclusion that's become synonymous with Wetherfield Lane.

Solidly constructed and spanning 230sqm, the clean-cut design revolves around an open-plan kitchen, dining area and lounge, with a wood burner introducing warmth and atmosphere before an adjoining living room shifts the dynamic, bringing another dimension to entertaining and everyday routine.

Outdoor living circles the open-plan living spaces, with a wraparound patio following the sun before overlooking a generous sweep of lawn where a playground, swings, playhouse and trampoline give family life its own head start.

Four bedrooms and two bathrooms deliver long-term capability, led by a master suite with bi-fold access to its own patio, a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. A family bathroom mirrors the same level of finish, while a dedicated laundry and carpeted internal-access double garage continue the home's functional focus.

Beyond, a paddock offers space for pets or a handful of animals, with a stock water race tracing the rear boundary and a new water tank adding further practicality to the property.

Walking distance from Mandeville Village, the local sports grounds and dog park, and with Rangiora and Christchurch both within comfortable reach, the location delivers the space of country living without losing touch with everyday convenience.

With their next build already underway, the vendors' commitment is clear, opening the door to one of the area's most complete family lifestyle properties.
