Cindy-Lee Sinclair Harcourts Merivale
This imposing Tudor Gothic style residence designed in 1908 by renowned early Canterbury architect JG Collins, is an increasingly rare sight in post-earthquake Christchurch. It is a fine example from a large body of work which includes noteworthy buildings such as Dux de Lux, The Curators House, The Press, and The Nurses Chapel.
What an opportunity for the next family! The owners purchased this property some 18 months ago, with the initial idea of a tantalizing renovation but now they have taken another direction and this magnificent property is to be sold uninsured on an "As Is, Where Is" basis. Restoration is realistic and the most likely outcome for the future of this 'grand old lady'. Features are too numerous to mention here but all make for reasons to restore.
In 2005 the previous owners commissioned David Sheppard, (Sheppard and Rout) and a large extension was built to house kitchen and family living. This is structurally intact thanks to the choice of foundations, and a superb addition to an already impressive home. The work will be extensive but certainly not insurmountable and we are confident that the result will be exceptional, and enduring for another one hundred years or so!
Set on 1545sqm of glorious established grounds, this is a diminishing asset in our rapidly changing city. Be sure to view. There is much to admire and this property must be sold as the owners have purchased
