81 Barkers Road, Methven, Ashburton, Canterbury

From its beautifully landscaped gardens and striking roadside appeal to the immaculate presentation inside and out, this home exudes pride of ownership. Step through the tiled entranceway and into the heart of the home - a sunny, light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that captures the garden outlook in every direction. The kitchen is perfectly designed for everyday ease, featuring a corner pantry, space for an oversized fridge, and updated appliances including a new benchtop, oven, cooktop and dishwasher. Sliding doors from both the living area and master bedroom open onto the wrap-around patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow for morning coffees or evening entertaining. Fourteen Jinko solar panels are currently set up to heat water and feed power to the grid, with flexibility for the new owners to adjust the configuration to suit their needs. The master suite offers a touch of elegance with feature wallpaper, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, plus direct patio access. Comfort is ensured year-round with a floor-mounted heat pump in the living area, and a wall-mounted heat pump in the master bedroom, while two further double bedrooms include ceiling fans. The sleek main bathroom adds character with a statement claw-foot bath and floral wallpaper to complement the master, and there’s a separate toilet with wheelchair-friendly height. The internal-access double garage includes a tiled laundry with overhead storage. Outside, the section is wonderfully established with mature plantings, a generous garden shed/workshop and greenhouse. Fruit lovers will enjoy the blackboy peach and apricot trees, along with strawberries, blueberries and raspberries ready for picking. Enjoy mountain views from the living room and patio, where the sheltered, sun-drenched space is ideal for barbecues and outdoor dining. Drapes and sheers throughout complete this well-loved and move-in-ready home - a truly special property that blends modern comfort with timeless care and attention.
