The elegant and composed character of this villa is complimented by the slower pace of life in its country setting. A perfect equilibrium has been achieved between appearance and functionality. The owners have spent the past 14 years restoring and retaining the details that give this home its undeniable beauty while upgrading many aspects to meet the needs of the modern family. The home is a visual delight, transporting you to a time of grandeur with rich rimu panelling and charming chandeliers.

A large and modern kitchen complete with butler's pantry effortlessly services the formal and informal dining options. The home compliments five large bedrooms, including a master with en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, with a number of separate living spaces and lounges. If required, the home can offer up to eight bedrooms.

Although a period build, Manfeild Villa complies with the latest building regulations, having all CCC's issued July 2020....
