Contemporary cool meets rustic romance in this country home in Rangiora, Waimakariri. The appealing exterior is reminiscent of a farmhouse, complete with rural-style fencing.

A solid timber front door opens to the textured feature hallway. Artiteq rails and specialised lighting allow the owners to easily display their art collection. Large windows welcome natural light into a doublepassage and frame garden views. Exposed trusses create interest in the open-plan living area, drawing attention to the high, pitched ceiling. Over-height doorways enhance flow. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped, cleverly incorporating a ceiling bulkhead to create a light, airy space. A separate lounge offers peace and quiet. Four bedrooms serve residents and guests. The rustic feel flows into the impressive bathrooms. Here, cedar ceilings mirror the floors for a cosy, contained feeling. Custom stainless steel shower trays with strip drains are a great feature. The floating vanities complement freestanding bathtubs. Excellent ti ling, quality fittings and LED lighting complete the package.
