Unit 2, 15 Thornton Close, Leithfield, Hurunui

• Exceptional presentation. Unexpected seclusion. A property you need to experience. The response from our first weekend of open homes has been emphatic: this home is beautifully presented, and few expect to discover such a private garden paradise tucked away in Amberley. Hidden from view on an expansive 2,980m², 10 Newton Place reveals an immaculately cared-for home surrounded by magnificent established gardens. Originally designed by renowned landscape designer Greg Bloomer and featuring as ‘Garry’s Garden’ in this year’s Hurunui Garden Festival, this remarkable setting deserves its moment in the spotlight. Mature greenery, birdsong and a peaceful rural outlook create a wonderful sense of escape. Yet Amberley’s town centre is only a short drive away, with the Domain and Railway Tavern within casual walking distance. The impressive 258m² home complements its surroundings with generous proportions and flexible living. Three living spaces encompass open-plan everyday living, a separate lounge and formal dining room. Three bedrooms plus an adaptable office provide options for guests, working from home or pursuing your interests, while the recently renovated ensuite and main bathroom bring a fresh, contemporary finish. Outdoors, three paved, sheltered entertaining areas invite you to follow the sun throughout the day. Enjoy morning coffee amongst the birdsong, leisurely lunches overlooking the gardens and evening drinks in your own secluded retreat. Everywhere you look, another beautifully planted corner awaits discovery. There’s substance behind the scenery, too. Double internal-access garaging is complemented by a third garage bay incorporating a lockable workshop. A second standalone workshop with a roller door offers secure storage for tools, equipment or the mower, with an attached potting shed completing the gardener’s setup. A lined ‘Wendy house’ adds a charming studio, hobby space, storage option or children’s retreat, while a treehouse promises adventures for younger family members. Beautifully presented inside and out, this is a property where years of care are evident at every turn. The space, seclusion and established setting are compelling enough in photographs, but the first weekend’s feedback makes one thing clear: you need to step inside to appreciate what’s hidden here. Discover Garry’s Garden for yourself. Contact me today to arrange your viewing and receive the full property information pack. Open home parking: To avoid vehicle congestion, please park on Douglas Road and walk down the lane to the property.
