Property details

Listing # TNK1866360 | Listed on 27 February

There’s a reason this home is known as The Oaks. Set amongst blooming gardens and generous green space, it offers that rare mix of history, character and room to breathe — a property anchored in time, yet entirely liveable for today.

Believed to have been built in the 1890s and known as The Viles Home, Arthur and Edith Viles made their life here from 1905, raising eight children within these walls. The old stables remain at the rear of the section, a quiet nod to its past, while the home sits proudly on Featherston’s Heritage Trail.

Inside, the character speaks for itself. Hand-carved lintels, the original phone nook, cast iron stove and clawfoot bath sit comfortably alongside thoughtful modern updates. Renovations have preserved the soul of the home while enhancing comfort and function.

The layout offers flexibility: three bedrooms plus an additional space ideal as a fourth bedroom, teen retreat or work-from-home zone. The master enjoys an ensuite, and multiple living areas create space to gather or retreat. A generous kitchen with butchers block & plumbed in fridge freezer forms the heart of the home. Two heat pumps, HRV and a wood burner ensure year-round comfort. Outside, there’s a double garage, ample off-street parking and expansive grounds with subdivision potential (subject to council confirmation with SWDC).

Just a short walk to Featherston township cafés, bakery and grocery store, with easy access to the medical and community centres. The train station, schools, tennis courts, pools and gym are all within walking distance.

The Oaks is more than a home. It’s history, heart, and space to write the next chapter.

This property is for sale by Tender (unless sold prior) Tuesday 31st March 2026 at 2pm.
