The sweet-toothed among us will remember Candyland, one of Taupiri's sweetest attractions, operating out of the old dairy factory on Henry Road.

The house at number 83 was originally built for the manager of the dairy factory, and at 120m2 (more or less) it's the largest of the 14 houses that share the cross-leased site of approximately 2.7312 hectares.

There are three bedrooms, and a spacious walk-through lounge, dining and kitchen area. The dining room in the centre has a wood-burner as well as a heat pump, and there's another heat pump in the master bedroom.

While the bedrooms could do with a refresh, the rest of the house has been well-maintained through paintwork, kitchen and bathroom renovations, and a good-looking roof.

Outside and off the living area is a large, partially covered deck that steps down to the fully fenced yard. Mature trees provide privacy and a pleasant outlook. Around the other side of the house the washing line sits on a concreted strip, and there's also a covered back porch.

For parking there's a deep garage and double carport, and this area has had a large piece of new concrete added recently.

This property is definitely "country quiet, city close", surrounded by a rural outlook but only 17 minutes to shopping at The Base in Te Rapa, 18 minutes to the Hamilton CBD and just over an hour on the Waikato Expressway to Auckland airport.
