Rhododendron Cottage
If you have always had a dream of buying a quintessential historic cottage that you can create your own history in, here's your chance. Rhododendron Cottage is a lovely, cute colonial home which would be superb as a weekend retreat, a delicious B&B or the perfect place to call home. Built circa 1880 and one of the original workers cottages, this 100m2 sweetie has two double bedrooms, a large living room with high studs, a spacious bathroom with a roll-top bathtub, and an open plan kitchen, dining and family room which opens through French doors to a large sunny terrace (with built in outdoor heaters for the cooler evenings) and a rambling 1067m2 garden, the perfect spot to entertain friends and family or relax and stargaze in the spa after a hard day's work. A magnificent rhododendron takes pride of place in the front garden and is a sight to behold when flowering. Sit on the verandah and enjoy your morning coffee while admiring it. The bonus outdoor studio, that is powered, lined and insulated is currently set up as a home gym but would also work well as a home office, rumpus or hobbies room; and comes with a separate storage unit at one end. The cottage itself is kept cosy with wood burner, heat pump and insulation. Marvel in the established and cleverly designed garden with Pandorea vines, skillfully trained to cover outdoor areas, Buxus hedging accompanied with delightful Roses that will bring the property to life in springtime. Animals are at the forefront of this delightful home with a hen house and a kennel for only the most pampered of pooches. Close to Martinborough vineyards, only an hour from Wellington (and with the advantage of an easy commute by train), and just a brisk walk to the village and all its delights, this is a cottage that will steal your heart. Be quick, as this is a rare opportunity to snap up a treasure, so don't delay, call us now to view.
