Ply & batten new build in Mangawhai

Set in the peace and tranquility of Mangawhai, this new build combines the warmth and character of a traditional rural home with the comforts of modern living. Spanning 160m², the ply and batten home showcases thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship and careful attention to detail. From the initial earthworks through to the final turnkey finish, CHR Builders managed every aspect of the project with precision and care.

Open-plan living and country kitchen

The open-plan living area is the heart of the home. A wood burner with brick surrounds brings warmth and a cosy country feel, while the vaulted ceiling and exposed dark timber beams add height and architectural interest. Large windows and doors bring in natural light and connect the living space with the surrounding views and outdoor areas.

The kitchen and butler’s pantry combine traditional detailing with modern practicality. Deep blue cabinetry brings colour and personality to the kitchen, balanced by crisp white benchtops and a farmhouse-style sink. Above the sink, a bifold servery window makes the most of the rural outlook while creating an easy connection to the outdoors.

Moving through the butler’s pantry, the laundry features full-height cabinetry providing plenty of room to keep everyday essentials organised and out of sight. A timber-look benchtop adds warmth and complements the flooring.

Master bedroom with luxurious ensuite and walk-in wardrobe

The main bedroom has a relaxed, understated feel, with soft neutral tones, white joinery and warm timber-look flooring. A generous walk-in wardrobe provides plenty of storage, while a sliding door opens directly onto the deck, bringing in plenty of natural light.

The ensuite continues the home's country-inspired style with a traditional vanity and classic tapware, paired with patterned floor tiles and white subway wall tiles. A spacious walk-in shower with frameless glass and a rainfall showerhead gives the room a clean, open feel. White wooden blinds provide privacy without blocking out natural light.

Family bathroom with free standing bath - CHR Builders

A family bathroom with character

The family bathroom takes a slightly bolder approach. A freestanding black bath creates a striking focal point, complemented by patterned black and white floor tiles that give the room plenty of personality.

The generous walk-in shower features frameless glass and crisp white subway tiles, with a contrasting dark tile stripe adding definition. An ornate framed mirror above the white vanity brings a decorative touch that suits the home's traditional aesthetic.

A home designed for country living

Every element of this Mangawhai new build was carefully considered to create a home that feels comfortable, practical and connected to its surroundings. From the vaulted living space and farmhouse-inspired kitchen to the considered storage and distinctive bathroom finishes, the result is a home with plenty of personality that will stand the test of time.
