There is nothing old school here on this delightful rural property, beautifully presented and handy to both Carterton and Masterton and if you work in the city it is no hardship when you can come home to this retreat. The 8152m2 tree clad property has two good paddocks for your animals, water race and a huge 14 X 10 metre workshop for those bigger projects. The 1912 infants school room has been remodelled to a high standard and still retains an ambience of times past. The large open plan living has polished native floors and is warmed by a logfire ( also has a commercial heat pump ). The timber kitchen has a smart breakfast bar and a pantry. Downstairs two big bedrooms, master has an ensuite, a smaller bedroom plus a big main bathroom and there's a decent sized separate office. The upper floor has lovely views of surrounding countryside, two bedrooms, bathroom and a family area. A great entertainer with French doors opening onto large private sun decking, a splendid inground pool and the old tennis court. Has town water supply. Handy to the Carterton Golf Course and Show grounds - ideal homestay. The school closed in 1969 but the time capsule under the flag pole is still there for a future owner to enjoy. Perhaps the best know former pupil was John Banks. Inspection Sunday April 13th @ 2pm. 17 Chester Road open2view 309938
