A Tale of Two Davids

With the original design by David Brocherie in the 1990s and then recent renovations under the guidance of David Sheppard, seldom have we seen a more classically beautiful home such as on offer here.

Walls of rich cream Oamaru stone blocks outside and in, are almost Baroque, and evocative of another much earlier and legendary David! An enfilade of rooms draws the eye and creates a sense of space.

Downstairs all these rooms open onto a long north boundary, including the master bedroom, possibly the 'piece de resistance' with doors opening wide inviting the garden in. Light floods in, Summer and Winter, from skylights set high in the cathedral ceilings.

During their interlude here, the owners have created an enviable garden under the expert direction of Rob Watson, another maestro in his field. Hedging and hydrangeas, espaliered Tilia and topiary are equally delicate and structured.

Set on 858sqm, this is a private secluded rear site tucked away with Fendalton School fields on the west boundary. If schooling is a priority, then zoning doesn't come better than this. Fendalton so close, Cobham, and then the 'big 3', a choice of BHS, CGHS and CBHS. Nonetheless, we can see this exquisite home appealing to retirees or those looking to downsize without compromise.

Our sellers have returned to their family home where repairs have been completed after the EQs and are ready to pass this simply wonderful package on to another deserving family.
