Exquisite Clarendon lies on the west side of Carterton and is a superb example of quality 19th century building practices. Named after the Australian birthplace of the first lady of the house when it was built circa 1887, Clarendon is rich in history, grace and stately living. This colonial treasure is on three titles over 4644m2, with one set of rates. The main house includes a large formal lounge with spectacular windows, formal dining room and family lounge and all of which can be opened up for entertaining. The home features 4 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a study, with the second storey, added in the 1990s, offering another living space or extra bedroom. The rimu kitchen is a reminder of Clarendon's past, with a lovingly hand crafted by Fourth Generation Kings, Carterton. Beautiful details throughout the home include chandeliers, leadlights and crafted cabinetry. The heart rimu, ash and totara house is shielded by a long-run steel roof. Outside, the romance continues with dual access on to the fully fenced grounds. More than 20 types of fruit and nut trees yield a tasty bounty. Judas and hawthorn trees date back to the house's creation. `Garden rooms' will delight you, the circular rose garden will spark your senses and the `secret garden' will shelter and calm you. There are six garages (one with office), just perfect for the car enthusiast and workshops and man sheds galore. Future options could include converting the house into two independent dwellings, as/or developing the land. With a security system, irrigation bore and garden irrigation system and extensive and inviting cobbled patios. Carterton is little over an hour from Wellington and 10 minutes from Masterton.
