Eight years ago fortune smiled on the English owners of this pretty private home. If it was not for three little boys the owners of this romantic house would be staying put

You will see why.

Beyond the gate, through the sheltered courtyard, is a graceful villa perfectly situated for north west indoor outdoor living. Perhaps you want a Nanny to live-in' in the downstairs area. This rather rare offering will surely touch someone's heart. Beautiful to live in now with shutters, whitney windows and French doors, but potential for further renovation could make this centrally heated home shutterly fabulous'!

The upper floor is informal and formal living separated by beautiful glass paned pine doors that allow uplifting light to dance throughout the spaces.

French doors and whitney windows beg to always be thrown open even in the winter.

Two bedrooms and a brand new bathroom are on this level. Up a flight of stairs is a shuttered retreat for Mummy and Daddy.

Downstairs is a good sized ground floor ensuited bedroom which has a luscious sense of being surrounded by the easily maintained garden. The laundry, the study and a wine cellar are all on this level. There is direct access to the clothes line and a perfect pitch for cricket or trikes.

High above the valley, Bell Road is a street of little turnover situated just off Arney Road that is zoned for Victoria Avenue Primary, double Grammar Schools and close to the University, Hospital and wonderful Remuera private schools.

The home is down a secluded right of way and sited on a flat shared lane.

This centrally heated incredibly cheerful house has one more attraction solid and generous double garaging with attic storage.
