Imagine dining alfresco in your own central covered courtyard with family and friends, sitting around a table with plenty of cool beverages, soaking up the sun. With beach access at the end of the road for a cool dip or a crisp midwinter walk, and Raumati Beach’s boutique village with its mouth-watering cafes and shops are a stroll away. Located on one of Raumati Beach’s most exclusive roads, this charming property has incredible views of Kapiti Island and exudes Old World character.

The moment you arrive at “Woodbury” you'll feel as though you've stepped back in time. The exterior of this Tudor inspired house with roughcast concrete cladding, large rustic black wooden gates and beams, tiled roof, and multi-paned windows, emanates the feel of a bygone era.

One of the most striking features is the beautiful central glass covered courtyard, straddled by two separate wings - the main living area and bedrooms on one side and the self-contained studio with its’ own bathroom & toilet on the other. From the sun-drenched courtyard you can watch your children / grandchildren or dog run around a sweet little safely fenced grassed area, surrounded by an ivy-covered fence and daisies.

With French doors leading from the lounge to the tiled courtyard, and another set to a second patio, indoor / outdoor flow is plentiful. The interior of the house is just as delightful, from the huge central open brick-surround fireplace in the living room to the gorgeous oversized beams and textured walls. Leading from the lounge is a cozy dining area and separate kitchen, as well as a small office.

Upstairs is the bathroom and three double bedrooms - two of which have views of Kapiti Island, with the master bedroom enjoying its own balcony. Climb a third set of stairs and you will find a light filled attic space where you can take in a stunning view of Kapiti Island. This could be another living area, office or bedroom.

A sympathetic makeover using your imagination and flair would take it to the next level.
