The Light House


Auction: from 1pm, Thurs 17 July 2014 (unless sold prior)
3 Deans Avenue, Riccarton, Christchurch
Built in 1904 'The Light House' features the Arts and Crafts style founded in the late 1880's by English reformer William Morris. The term refers to the British and American movement to revive handicrafts - tired of excessive Victorian architecture and the machine-driven Industrial Age, Morris and his followers wanted to return to a pre-industrial, handmade society. Many heritage characteristics reflecting this architectural era remain today; although the original house has been altered and utilised for a variety of purposes such as hospitality, a cooking school and most recently a surgery. Redecorated in heritage style colours and combining home plus surgery by the current owner for over 25 years a reluctant decision to sell has resulted in this opportunity. Following the earthquakes the dwelling has been unoccupied however remains watertight and whilst deemed repairable our vendor has opted to settle with the previous insurer. The high profile, 731sqm site on the corner with Sherborne Street invites development and/or commercial use for health, spiritual or educational use (consent required). This busy location already supports a large variety of business and accommodation ventures and boasts an enviable proximity to the CBD, various local shopping precincts plus Hagley Park. Zoned Heaton Intermediate School.

"Craftsman homes have a high quality of design and craftsmanship, so they hold their value," says David Jensen, architect. "They are like the Rolls Royce, of the architecture world."
