BEACH BARN LIVING

Combine Mangawhai Heads beach fun with barn living. Practically everyone loves a barn, and this property fits the bill perfectly! 119a Mangawhai Heads Road is a most appealing barn dwelling that has morphed from the family barn holiday retreat, and popular holiday accommodation, to a permanent family home.

Taking its cue from both the rural and urban worlds, the barn is rustic with an industrial thread throughout. The two storey barn has a mezzanine master bedroom with a child's bedroom or office upstairs, and downstairs a generous bedroom, main bathroom and open plan living. A wood burner heats the barn in the cooler winter months. The use of concrete, metal, wood and a raked ceiling give a 'honest, no fuss' feel. Appealing features that combine different elements and contrasting themes have created a space full of character. These include: pressed tin ceiling tiles utilised as the kitchen splash back and wrapped around the front face of the kitchen island; concrete flooring downstairs and engineered timber flooring upstairs; chunky, former railway sleepers for decking; and a great exterior look with the colour steel cladding.

Attractive mature plantings grace the barn entrance with outdoor rooms to the side providing sheltered seating for family lunches and barbeques. To the rear is an outdoor shower, and a powered shed for the man of the house to disappear into. A carport is off the other side of the barn - perfect for the boat. There's ample space for kids to play and enjoy with the flat lawn. The grounds have boundary hedging, citrus trees dotted, a bountiful passionfruit vine and vegetable garden beds. A post and rail fence frames the property upon entry with an unexpected feeling of semi rural living yet only minutes away is the beach and seaside.

Whether your holiday getaway or permanent home, you'll love this chic, character filled barn house!
