7 Lampard Street, Methven, Ashburton, Canterbury

Big section, serious garaging and a home that lets everyone settle in with ease. Set on 1,012m² (more or less), this single-level brick four-bedroom, one-bathroom home offers 190m² (more or less) of living, a broad driveway and five-car garaging/shedding, giving you room for vehicles, tools, hobbies and the everyday gear that comes with a full household.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is bright and easy going, with wide windows pulling in the garden outlook and sliders opening outdoors. The well-appointed kitchen brings generous bench space, breakfast-bar seating and plenty of cabinetry, while a heat pump, ceiling fan and log burner keep this central zone comfortable through Canterbury’s seasons.

Carpeted bedrooms give everyone somewhere to retreat, all generously sized whilst the fourth single bedroom works equally as a great study or home office. Built-in wardrobe storage features across the bedrooms, while the bathroom includes both a bath and separate shower. A dedicated laundry keeps household jobs neatly away from the living area.

Outside, the section gives you room to use the backyard rather than simply look at it. Broad lawns leave plenty of scope for outdoor games, gardening and relaxed afternoons in the sun, with established planting adding shelter around the home. The substantial garaging and generous off-street parking will be a real draw for anyone with extra vehicles, workshop projects or mountain gear.

Methven puts everyday essentials and alpine recreation comfortably side by side. Methven Primary School, Mount Hutt College, Methven Domain, local shops and cafés and Opuke Thermal Pools & Spa are all part of the local mix, while Mt Hutt is around a 40-minute drive from Methven.
