4 Kenward Crescent, Featherston, South Wairarapa

Our vendor's deadline is looming to secure their next property so it is now or never to be able to secure the fabulous William Grey Young designed home that is hidden behind mature trees and set on over 1800m2 of established grounds. This is a 5 (3+2)-bedroom opportunity, the main 3-bedroom home is linked by a deck to a further 2-bedroom plus bathroom studio, perfect for extended family, an air BnB or Homestay. Designed and owned by prominent architect William Gray Young - the first Arts and Crafts bungalow in New Zealand. Inside the home is warm and cosy and the character is evident from the ornate windows to the high stud, detailed ceilings, and arts and crafts woodwork. A sunroom extends the living room and gives access to the large backyard. The very generous master bedroom is located down its own hallway, where you will wake up with the sun streaming through the Eastern windows. The second bedroom is also supersized and has beautiful polished floor boards and a (non-working) ornate fireplace. The separate kitchen looks out over the deck towards the studio where you can curl up with cookbooks on the window seat. Across the hallway you will find the dining room that overlooks the rear yard and the outside fireplace, there is even room for chairs to lounge in. This home has too many features to list and really needs to be seen to be believed.
