238 Howick Road, Witherlea, Blenheim, Marlborough

Set above Harling Park at the top of the hill, this property makes the most of its position on a generous 2066sqm section. It’s a setting that’s hard to replicate in this part of Witherlea, with space, elevation and an outlook that takes in the surrounding hills and established neighbourhood below. Sections of this size are not common here, and the sense of openness is immediate as you arrive. A sweeping driveway leads up through park-like grounds, with established trees and lawn. The house has recently been painted and sits well for the sun, with a natural connection to the outdoor spaces that surround it - there’s a quiet, almost tucked-away quality to the property. The basement level is solid concrete block, offering a large garage with room well beyond parking. Toward the rear, there’s a rumpus space, there’s also a practical workshop with bench space and the convenience of a shower and toilet down here. Internal steps lead up to the main entrance foyer, making access straightforward in all weather. Upstairs, the layout allows for both connection and separation. A formal entrance with high ceilings creates a sense of arrival, with steps leading up to the main living area and setting the tone for the home. The main living room is spacious and can be closed off with two sets of internal bifold doors, giving flexibility depending on how the spaces are used. The adjoining family and dining area sits alongside the kitchen, which is well set up with twin ovens, double pantries and ample bench space. From here, the outlook over the lawn and gardens is a constant feature. The family room opens out to a newly refurbished deck, positioned to take in wide views across the hills. It’s an easy spot to spend time, whether it’s a quiet morning or an evening at the end of the day to witness the incredible sunsets. The master bedroom is generously sized, with twin wardrobes and its own ensuite. Two additional bedrooms sit a few steps down, creating a sense of separation and are supported by a guest toilet and a third bathroom. A separate laundry opens out to the back of the property, where terraced gardens and several sheds provide useful storage and space for projects or gardening. In a location like Witherlea, properties with this much land, elevation and established setting don’t come up often. It’s a place with room to settle in, add value and grow over time – come on up and visit, you’ll be glad you did!
