Property Description

Penscroft’s substantial restoration and park-like grounds offer a residence of tradition and modern-day comfort.

White timber gates open into the tree-lined driveway, setting a welcoming tone that is echoed throughout the 4.20 hectare property.
The timber-panelled entrance hall leads to formal and informal spaces — fireside sitting rooms, bay-windowed billiard room, formal dining room and a separate study.

Beyond this, sweeping lawns, specimen trees and a spring-fed lake create a natural amphitheatre — equally suited to grand gatherings or a private family retreat.

The kitchen and scullery are the heart of the home complimented by casual dining flowing to outdoor entertaining terraces overlooking the potager garden. The separate laundry, powder room and boot room complete the service areas.

Upstairs are four attractive bedrooms, including the light and sun-filled master suite and a family bathroom arranged around a wide central landing. A private ground-floor bedroom with ensuite and dressing room offers guest privacy and space.

Modern day luxury is assured through sensitive upgrading and modernising including diesel hot water radiators and underfloor heating— every detail upholds both comfort and longevity.

Beyond the residence, two well fenced paddocks, a seven-bay shed, and additional outbuildings support the established peony-growing operation or other lifestyle pursuits.

Set amid tranquil countryside just minutes from Ashburton and approx. an hour from Christchurch International airport, Penscroft is a homestead of rare scale and prestige – offering discerning buyers the privilege of continuing its remarkable story.
