After taking a little time away from the market, some repairs and maintenance have been completed and this property is ready for its new owner. If you had your eye on it previously, or missed it the first time around, now is the time to take a fresh look.

Lovingly held by the same owner for over four decades, 'The Cottage' is a warm and inviting home filled with memories of family gatherings and sun soaked afternoons.

Step inside and you’ll appreciate the character and sense of space created by the raked ceilings, while the mostly original interior has been carefully maintained over the years with the addition of double glazing for added comfort. The open plan lounge forms the heart of the home, offering a cosy retreat with its woodburner, alongside the convenience of a heatpump for year-round comfort. The kitchen and dining area are semi open plan, providing connection while still offering defined spaces for everyday living.

A wrap around conservatory captures the afternoon sun and provides a quiet spot to relax while enjoying views of the gardens and breathtaking sunsets in the evening.

Outdoors is where this home truly shines. The beautifully established gardens have been developed over many years, creating a tranquil setting with a sense of maturity that only time can achieve. Meandering spaces invite you to slow down and enjoy the surroundings, while an additional sitting area at the rear of the property offers a peaceful retreat.

The home offers three bedrooms and a generous sized bathroom featuring both a shower and a separate bath, along with a separate toilet. A separate laundry room adds further functionality and internal access garaging enhances ease of living. The additional workshop or storage area provides flexibility for hobbies or tools.

Set within its lush grounds, this property offers charm and a relaxed lifestyle, with the convenience of nearby amenities such as the Appenzell dairy and bakery, and less than a 5 minute drive to both Ohope Beach and Whakatāne CBD.
