With total commitment to retaining the special character of this adored Heathcote Helmore residence our vendors have undertaken many hours and enlisted the craftsmanship of highly skilled professionals to preserve a slice of history and rebuild this much loved Fendalton classic from the bottom to the top.
From the robust and not to overstate specialized engineered foundations upwards this Christchurch darling has emerged block by hand crafted pink Hanmer marble block to be a stunning replica of its original self but now to much higher modern standards.
The property stands prominently in its original post beside the meandering Avon river with an idyllic outlook over the park grounds of Riccarton House. The gardens of this riverside 843sqm have been carefully landscaped by Robert Watson to create an edible and botanical fusion. The story book frontage entices guests to enter via the commanding front door or alternatively residents would drive in behind the secure gates to the generous options for parking and garaging.
Dedicated to living, the ground floor layout hosts a modern farm style kitchen with excellent storage. The natural flow through to the family room, formal dining and separate lounge is effortless, each space has special character and quality.
Catching the glorious afternoon sun the stone patio can be accessed from the main living room via French doors, a lower terrace is the perfect spot to enjoy entertaining friends and family.
Luxuries upstairs include ensuites to three of the four bedrooms, two with heatpumps and all presenting unique views. It is very easy to see why this residence has been a highly successful boutique bed and breakfast.
