STOCKBRIDGE is a handsome turn of the century homestead that has been lovingly renovated by the current owners. Set amidst sheltered, sunny grounds and acreage, the property is approximately 45 minutes drive to Wellington, 20 minutes to Lower and Upper Hutt and 10 minutes to Silverstream Village for the train station and motorway links to Kapiti Coast and the Wairarapa. It is a rarity to find a home of this standard in a rural location so close to those all important and very sought after amenities. Silverstream provides access to: very good state and private schools, sports clubs, Golf Courses and a driving range, a selection of shops including a pharmacy, new supermarket, dentist, doctors surgery, veterinary clinic, bakery, convenience store, pub, cafe, service station, Gym, Tennis Club and Trentham Racecourse, to name but a few. Whitemans Valley plays host to several exciting car and Bicycle rallies and the famous Short Straw is within walking distance.
Suitable for those with Equine interests but equally for those just wanting to get away from it all and try their hand at a self sufficient lifestyle. A purpose built stable block suitable for three large horses with detached tack and feed room. There are 9 very sheltered, summer and winter safe paddocks ( re fenced) with riparian rights to the tributary of the Mangaroa River, such an important resource when living in the country. Trout, eel and bird life are in abundance. There is a pump house to take water to the "plateau" paddocks and two 15,000 litre water tanks for the house. Eight of the nine paddocks are beautifully flat whilst the remaining paddock is gently sloping. There is a character sleep-out to house teenagers and their friends. Many fine parties have been held here.
