Glentunnel House | The Terrace - Perfect for skiers and families

3 Bedroom House in Glentunnel, Whitecliffs

"The Terrace" is a spacious modern house on a terrace beside the Selwyn River. Unbeatable views over fields and the majestic Canterbury foothills. Double glazing and log fire keep you cosy in winter but in sunshine you'll want to dine outside or just snooze on the sheltered swing seat. When evening arrives, watch the sunset glow behind the hills then be awed by the quiet serenity of the countryside and the absolute clarity of the stars.
Ideal base for skiing or exploring inland Canterbury. Also convenient for golf, fishing, hiking, cycling and tennis. Kids can build dams in the river, climb trees, use the play area in the old school grounds next door, or walk 5 mins to the local playground.
