33 Churchill Road Cockle Bay, Manukau City

Auction 3 November (unless sold prior)

A home with heart and soul, this charming Cockle Bay classic offers the character you crave, the space you need and the opportunity to shape your future.

Sitting on an expansive 1133sqm (more or less) site on a sought-after street and elevated for sun and privacy, this generous and solid home balances its rich 1950s heritage with everyday functionality.

A spacious lounge opens to an outdoor conservatory area flowing directly onto the sprawling flat lawn and leafy garden beyond, offering a natural playground for children and perfect for the green thumb in the family or those who want to create an al fresco oasis. Follow the garden path to a wired and Wi-Fi-enabled workshop, ensuring endless options for working from home, teen rumpus or additional flexible space.

Inside the main home, the versatile 209sqm (approx) layout unfolds with grace, where a light-filled dining area sits beside the kitchen before opening out to the newly built entertainer's deck, perfect for summer barbecues.

Four bedrooms and two bathrooms ensure comfort across both levels, with the generous primary featuring a walk-in robe, ensuite with bidet and peaceful garden views. A supersized fourth bedroom upstairs includes attic access and its own WC, while the mezzanine-style living area is ideal as a quiet study, creative nook or playroom.

Modern practicality hasn't been overlooked, from the separate laundry and ducted heat system to the connected garage, extra carport and off-street parking. The gardens are lush yet manageable, with rainwater tank, garden shed and plenty of scope to create your own backyard paradise.

Zoned for Cockle Bay School, Somerville Intermediate and Howick College, and moments to Howick Village, beaches and transport, this is a rare opportunity to make your mark in a tightly held and family-friendly location.
