Built in 1870 for the Sergeant of Police, this remarkable stone home is steeped in history and character. At the time, a stone jail stood to the left of the residence, with an office beside it. From here to the nearby school, up to 15 mounted troopers were once housed, who policed the goldfields and acted as escorts for the gold coach to Dunedin and to many important visitors.
Sympathetically restored to honour its era, the home has been thoughtfully extended, with the original exterior stonework forming part of the kitchen addition. French doors open from this space to a private outdoor patio, complete with a tranquil water feature-the perfect spot for relaxing or entertaining.
Inside, the home features three bedrooms and a bathroom with a classic claw-foot bath, blending modern comfort with timeless heritage charm. The inviting living and dining area offers both a wood burner and a heat pump, ensuring year-round comfort.
Several out-buildings complement the property, including a large garage, a studio, and ample off-street parking. Positioned on a prominent corner site in the historic precinct of beautiful Clyde, the grounds are fully fenced and framed by mature plantings and a protective hedge. A magnificent walnut tree anchors the north-west corner, providing shade and dappled light in the warm summer months.
This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved piece of history-a home that tells a story, while offering comfort, space and lifestyle.
