Description
Welcome to Ashridge, a much-loved 1930s home tucked privately away on a generous, mostly flat section. Full of personality and timeless charm, this is a place where families can settle in comfortably now, with plenty of scope to update or refurbish over time.
Step inside and the home’s heritage immediately shines through - English Oak parquet flooring, walnut-veneer walls, stained-glass windows, and the craftsmanship that defines homes of this era. The foyer sets the tone, offering a warm, welcoming introduction to the spaces beyond.
The layout is wonderfully flexible, with multiple living areas to suit busy family life. There’s a formal lounge for quiet evenings, a separate dining room for shared meals, and a sunroom that soaks up the day’s warmth. Whether you’re entertaining, relaxing, or spreading out, the home adapts with ease.
The kitchen sits at the heart of the home, complete with an island bench, gas hob, and butler’s pantry. It’s perfectly functional as is, yet also offers exciting potential for a future makeover. A nearby office or craft room adds even more versatility for work-from-home days or creative hobbies.
Accommodation is generous, with four double bedrooms arranged for privacy and practicality. The eastern wing includes two doubles - one with an en-suite, the other connected to a Jack-and-Jill bathroom - plus a third bedroom and a separate powder room. A fourth double bedroom with its own en-suite sits privately off the main hallway, ideal for guests or extended family.
Throughout the home, character features remain beautifully intact: Art Deco light fittings, natural timber sash windows, and ducted gas heating for year-round comfort. Storage is plentiful, including a dedicated storeroom.
Outdoor living is a real highlight. The expansive rear deck is perfect for summer gatherings, overlooking the in-ground pool and surrounded by established trees, easy-care gardens, and a generous lawn. It’s a peaceful, family-friendly setting with room to play, relax, and enjoy the sunshine.
Practicality is well covered too, with excellent off-street parking and garaging for three vehicles - ideal for families, guests, or hobbies that need extra space.
Zoned for Napier Girls’ and Napier Boys’ High Schools and close to bus routes to Havelock North and Hastings, Ashridge offers convenience alongside its charm.
Ashridge - full of character, full of space, and full of opportunity for those ready to make it their own.
