22 Penfold Square, Leithfield Beach, Hurunui, Canterbury

Tucked quietly in Penfold Square and wrapped in sunshine, charm and possibility, this Leithfield Beach cottage offers easy coastal living and genuine room to grow, offering a perfect opportunity for downsizers, creatives, young families or anyone chasing an everyday escape.

The home opens into a bright, inviting living zone where French doors, picture windows and natural timber panelling create a breezy vibe. The wood burner anchors the room on cool evenings, while the modernised kitchen brings practicality and flow, connecting seamlessly to the deck for summer dining and simple daily living.

Both bedrooms receive beautiful light and open directly to the outdoors. The master is an unexpectedly generous retreat - large enough to comfortably divide into two rooms should you want a third bedroom or added flexibility. The additional study enhances the home’s versatility, offering a dedicated workspace, hobby room or quiet corner to read and reset. A well-presented family bathroom, separate WC and a tucked-away laundry round out the interior with thoughtful functionality.

The wraparound deck becomes an everyday extension of the home for sun-soaked mornings, lazy afternoons, evening barbecues. The established garden is a dream for green-thumbs and slow-living enthusiasts alike, with raised vegetable beds, fruit trees, mature plantings, meandering gravel paths and private seating nooks to savour throughout the seasons. A standout bonus is the triple car garage - a rare find this close to the beach - ideal for workshop space, storage, beach gear or additional vehicles.

With the reserve directly behind and the shoreline just a short wander away, the location delivers a lifestyle that’s both peaceful and practical. Swim, stroll, fish, unwind and come home to a community that’s known for its warmth and laid-back charm.
