Built in 1870 approx representative of simple colonial houses yet with charm and style. One of six cottages, built by English settlers and given the name the Hen and Chicken Cottages.
The designation is heritage A however there is scope to introduce your style internally for a modernistic blend. Structurally sound the home is presented with fresh exterior paint and ‘as new’ roof. The floorplan incorporates three bedrooms, two bathrooms, large living areas together with the artist studio (adaptable for a range of uses or AirBNB) to 211sqm approx., a layout that affords flexible living. One may consider reconfiguring the plan to maximise use.
Indeed this is a rare chance to secure a character filled home with endless potential. Steeped in history the cottage still wears its age with pride – from high ceilings and timber floors to the original detailing that tell a story in history and today.
It’s a home with heart, ready for someone with vision to breathe new life into its vintage bones. Restore, refresh or reimagine; whether you lean into the heritage or add your own modern twist the foundation is here for something truly special. Unlock the charm, realise the potential and a future full of possibility.
A flat freehold section on the sunny side of the street has a blend of native and introduced species with a protected Pohutukawa and oak framing the front of the cottage. A tranquil oasis indeed ideal for children's play or to relax with a glass of wine and a book at leisure taking in the atmosphere within easy walk of the CBD, Pukekura Park, the famed New Plymouth Walkway and a range of schooling to include Central Primary just a stroll along the street.
The Pukekura Park residential catchment attracts strong interest from prospective buyers seeking period homes or the opportunity to redevelop which strongly underpins value.
