Imagine bringing family closer together while still giving everyone the space to enjoy life their own way. At 122 Malling Road, the combination of 2 separate dwellings, established grounds and a peaceful rural setting creates an opportunity for families looking for something a little different.
Tucked away at the end of a long entrance lane, this special lifestyle property unfolds into a beautiful rural setting where mature trees, sweeping lawns, gardens and open paddocks create a wonderful sense of space and tranquillity. With the main villa and a separate cottage positioned further along the lane, there is a natural separation between the homes while still allowing the family to remain close.
At the heart of the property is a substantial 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom villa, including a master bedroom with an ensuite and a spacious walk-in dressing room. Welcoming living spaces and a refreshed interior provide room for family life, gatherings and the everyday moments that make a house a home. The current owners have devoted considerable care and attention to enhancing both the home and its surroundings, creating an inviting property ready for its next chapter.
Further along the lane, the separate 2-bedroom cottage offers its own bathroom and a sunroom currently used as a third bedroom. This additional accommodation opens up exciting possibilities for grandparents wanting independence, adult children finding their feet, blended families or relatives who would appreciate having their own space while remaining part of the wider family.
Beyond the homes, the grounds are equally appealing. Established trees, a variety of fruit trees, gardens, lawns and fenced paddocks provide room to garden, grow your own produce and enjoy the freedom of country living. Horses and sheep currently graze the paddocks, while the chickens and their own chicken house near the cottage add another delightful touch to the lifestyle on offer.
There is a special charm to the setting, too. From the kitchen window, enjoy beautiful sunrises over the neighbouring pond, while the resident ducks add to the rural atmosphere and the simple pleasures of everyday life.
Practicality is well catered for, with a substantial 3-bay barn, an enclosed garage/workshop shed with a concrete floor and additional utility buildings. Water storage is provided by 2 tanks connected to the Redwood Valley water scheme, further supporting the property's lifestyle appeal.
Set across approximately 2.9 hectares, there is room here for family life to flourish, with space for animals, outdoor pursuits and changing needs over time. The local primary school is just down the road, while Richmond and Mapua are approximately 12 minutes away by car, combining the appeal of country living with everyday convenience.
Whether you are bringing generations together, accommodating a blended family or simply looking for a property with room for family to grow, 122 Malling Road offers a compelling combination of space, versatility and a beautiful rural setting.
A place for family to come together, a space for everyone to enjoy their independence, and a lifestyle to treasure. Come and discover the possibilities at 122 Malling Road.
