A piece of the past has come to the market - a fantastic colonial cottage with many of the original features of a 1900's house with wooden floors, ceiling, doors and gorgeous wood and tile fireplaces. The current owners have many hours restoring the inside and outside of the property to its original glory.
The kitchen has been carefully upgraded in keeping with the original layout and remains the hub of the home. A wood burner in the kitchen has been added for warmth and convenience. Double doors off the dining area open onto a private sunny area of the garden. Ideal for a morning cuppa or glass of wine in the evening.
The lounge has the traditional open fire with an inbuilt Jetmaster fireplace with original ornate wooden surrounds. The Lounge has been beautifully restored in keeping with the era of the house. Tasteful feature walls throughout the house provide a modern feature but reflect the time period.
Three large double bedrooms provide plenty of space for modern living. The main bedroom has the original fireplace still in working order.
A previous owner had lovingly restored the bathroom in keeping with the character of the house with the addition of modern conveniences. Check out that copper cistern!
A DVS has been installed to keep the inside dry and warm through the winter.
The property was originally built as a parsonage and has an interesting history.
Outside there is plenty of space should you wish to erect a carport or garage and there is currently plenty of existing shedding to make use of including a studio, workshop, wood store and potting shed.
The rear garden is a wonder with fantastic mature fruit trees and plantings - very private and fenced making it perfect for pets or children.
The Ashhurst Village is within walking distance of the home, with excellent schools close by Ashhurst and Whakarongo Primary School, as well as Freyberg High School.
It is all here for you to enjoy. A healthy rural village lifestyle just 15 minutes from Palmerston North.
