Set in the heart of Akaroa in a precinct of cottages, a fantastic opportunity perfect for anyone who appreciates historic architecture and wild gardens. Lovingly brought back to life by the current owners who wanted to create neither a show home nor a museum. "It's very much a house for living in "an undertaking more about restoration than renovation, peeling back the layers and retaining as much of the original structure and features as possible
Banksia Cottage is set in a private and very sheltered 1133sqm of wild garden. All the main living is on the ground floor with double bedroom off the lounge while the cosy upstairs area boasts two comfortable single beds. A room off the side that was the original shoe shop has a door leading out to the garden and perhaps offers the opportunity for a home business. The kitchen is open to the dining and living rooms with an open plan feel leading to space with table and chairs outside. There is a veranda around the main bedroom which gets all the delightful sun.
Just up from the main street, beach, café and all that Akaroa offers ,this is rare opportunity to purchase an original historic cottage with location and further potential .Come capture the romance of yesteryear.
