Beautiful Brick Villa | Inspired Renovation

THIS PROPERTY HAS SOLD UNDER THE HAMMER 30/11/2022. With its charming street presence, rare brick character and inspired renovation, this gorgeous villa offers the perfect proportions and location for Devonport family life. The thoughtful layout means there's plenty of space to break away and relax, then come together again in the light, bright family areas at the rear of the home. Beautifully landscaped grounds add to the enchanting feel and the home is just a five-minute walk to Cheltenham beach in one direction, and historical Devonport village in the other.

Bay hedges envelop a pretty cherry tree out front, complementing the villa's unique brick facade and front porch that's adorned with feature filigree. Inside, the heritage character has been masterfully enhanced in the north-facing rear extension, where expansive open areas create a light-filled space. Four restful bedrooms off the entrance hallway have high ceilings and kauri floors, plus enjoy garden outlooks and lovely sun. Three are serviced by the family bathroom, while the master has an ensuite.

The renovation was undertaken by award-winning architectural designer Fraser Gillies, who created a boatshed feel in the open-plan living, dining and generous kitchen space. This end of the home enjoys a true sense of tranquillity.

Three sets of doors open out to the all-day-sun deck, which is framed with fragrant star jasmine and has wide views over the Devonport treetops. Steps arrive down to the flat lawn that is protected by mature hedges, creating a private oasis filled with flower beds and with room for a pool. Back inside, the ground floor is a flexible space that can adapt to your specific family needs. It has its own entrance out to the garden, so could be a guest room, rumpus, home office or teenage den.

As our owners are now downsizing, this special property is available after 18 years. Here is your chance to treasure one of Devonport's truly special homes.
