For large or extended families, this lovely home in the delightful semi-rural peace of Marsden Valley is hard to beat for sheer space, features and locality.

With five bedrooms and four bathrooms, here's the perfect family home (330sqm) beside a lovely reserve where you can't be built out.

To add to the "big family" appeal, three of the bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and the house has heat pump operated ducted air conditioning throughout for cooling/warming.

Sun-bathed throughout the day, and with lovely country views, this contemporary home is full of family-friendly attractions.

As well as all the bedroom space (no-one will feel hard done by here!) the home boasts extensive living - two separate lounges plus open plan dining/family space.

And there's an office space cleverly installed behind double doors in the unusually wide hallway.

Everyone has a space, and there is fabulous outdoor living on a patio off the kitchen/dining. Enjoy evening drinks, a barbecue with friends looking out to bushy views with a stream bubbling through.

A large kitchen has a butler's pantry as well and there is a huge amount of storage in cupboards throughout the house.

Children have lawn areas for play and there's space for a trampoline in the 927sqm section, gated for pet and toddler security.

In keeping with such a spacious home, there is triple garaging and room on the forecourt for extra vehicles, or a caravan/trailer.

While this is a wonderful family residence, the location in this lovely valley will also appeal, with its contemporary homes, bountiful trees, and friendly neighbourhood.

There's safe cycling for youngsters and there are excellent walking/running and mountain bike tracks at the top of the valley, including the renowned Barnicoat Range trail.

Located above Stoke, but with ready access to Nelson and Richmond, this is an excellent position for work or proximity to schools (Enner Glynn zone) and other amenities.
