Our clients have accepted an insurance settlement and issued us with instructions to sell this sprawling 442m² manor on an "as is, where is" basis. After nearly 50 years within the same family, auction day means a chapter of their history will come to an end, but for you the options are just beginning.
Designed by renowned Canterbury architect Cecil Woods early last century, the home has benefited from ongoing extensions and improvements and while being sold "as is" it remains entirely liveable. Grand living spaces complement the vast bedrooms, character detailing has been beautifully preserved and updates in crucial service areas of the kitchen and bathrooms ensure immediate comfort whilst planning ultimate utilisation of the home.
On two titles, incorporating full sized tennis court and in-ground pool the home enjoys a botanical outlook to the Waimairi Stream, with a variety of established trees and delightful original landscaping. The location has always been gilt-edged, thanks to a combination of superb schooling options, proximity to parks and the reassurance of surrounding grand homes.
Given the total land area of 2,210m² your ultimate intentions may include building on the tennis court (which offers 759m² in its own right) or even eventual redevelopment of the entire site.
Auction day will not be easy, but the estate is resolute in its instructions.
