Our subject property is a perfect example of the innovative architecture Jonty Rout is remembered for in Canterbury; combining a sophisticated yet playful personality. He created a classic here, and our owners have accentuated the designer's trademark touches with stunning enhancements including new bathrooms, kitchen, central heating and exterior landscaping.
The spacious central atrium acts as the nucleus of the home - linking the living areas and creating a flow between the upper & lower levels. With 310m² of floor space, the architect has cleverly integrated public & private spaces - all bedrooms are doubles (one boasting a quirky mezzanine) and the separate study is an extra bonus.
Nestled into the hillside, the home is gently terraced, with balconies & terraces off all living areas and two of the four bedrooms. Newly landscaped 719m² gardens make outdoor entertaining so comfortable & pleasurable. From here you can easily access a network of Port Hills hiking paths and cycleways, while summer days are certain to be spent lounging in and around the heated swimming pool. As well as providing panoramic views over the City to the Alps the home's situation enjoys the benefit of easy drive-on access to internal access garaging with additional off street parking. And, given its tree-bordered outlook, cedar cladding is the perfect material - robust, organic and timeless.
Opportunities like this are increasingly rare and this prospect has only arisen due to a surprising but irreversible decision on the part of our owners.
