G.J. Gardner<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Meandering roads and green spaces characterise Wilfield,<br />
a subdivision in West Melton. With the popularity of residential<br />
properties situated West of Christchurch, and the progress being<br />
made on the Southern motorway, many families are making<br />
West Melton their home.<br />
G.J. Gardner Homes’ show home in<br />
Wilfield is at 14 Kingsdowne Drive. This<br />
295m2 home is a great illustration of the<br />
exceptional design and build quality G.J.<br />
Gardner Homes is known for.<br />
Sunny, bright open plan with defined<br />
dining and family areas, made more<br />
intimate with a boxed ceiling, these are<br />
separated from the lounge by double<br />
sliders that open for entertaining.<br />
The kitchen has ample bench space, an<br />
island sink, and a generous walk-in pantry<br />
with scullery. A long low window offers<br />
a view of the yard and there is access to<br />
a sheltered deck, perfect for breakfast or<br />
coffee.<br />
A triple car garage includes the laundry<br />
and a guest toilet with wash basin.<br />
Four double bedrooms plus a study<br />
nook make up the Northeast wing of this<br />
expansive home. The master bedroom<br />
has a spacious walk-in wardrobe and a<br />
fully tiled ensuite and shower. The main<br />
bathroom also features a tiled shower and<br />
a bath. The family toilet also has its own<br />
wash basin.<br />
Outdoor living is catered for with a<br />
large, hardwood deck at the front of the<br />
house. A cedar-lined portico gives the<br />
home both a strong presence and great<br />
street appeal. Sliding doors from the living<br />
area and the master bedroom give access<br />
to the deck and look towards the snowcapped<br />
Southern Alps.<br />
Storage is a feature in this home. Full<br />
height cupboards in the laundry and hall;<br />
three of the four bedrooms have walk-in<br />
wardrobes; and there is attic storage above<br />
the garage.<br />
This outstanding show home is an<br />
excellent example of G.J. Gardner’s<br />
craftsmanship and quality. It is a must<br />
for viewing. It is at 14 Kingsdowne<br />
Drive, West Melton, and is open<br />
Wednesday to Sunday from 12 til 4pm.
