47 Edward Street, Rangiora, Canterbury 7400

In 1893 brickmaker, John Rowe, purchased the property on the corner of Edward and Wales Street from his father for £30. After subdividing the vacant lot and selling the northern site to his brother Rowe built the current dwelling (minus subsequent additions) the following year. The fact that it remains standing with Historic Places recognition is testament to his proficiency in his trade.

This 3-bedroom character cottage stands unpretentiously on this quiet street close to the centre of Rangiora township and the local high school. The home is sited well-forward on the established section offering generous yard space at the rear which is private and sheltered by mature gardens. A tandem garage provides ample parking and is complemented by a lean-to storage area at the back of the house.

While the home has been renovated and updated in subsequent years to provide the comfort and convenience of modern living standards, the extensive use of timber trim has retained the ambience and character of yesteryear. If you are a character-lover and are prepared to roll your sleeves up and attend to a little maintenance, then this one is certainly worth a look.
