Some homes have a special kind of magic, and this beautifully maintained 1920s character home is one of them. Thoughtfully upgraded to embrace the modern comforts we all love, while carefully preserving the outstanding character features of its era, this is a home that will captivate you from the moment you arrive.
Positioned on a corner section just 50 metres from the bridge and estuary, where the river meets the sea, the home enjoys a wonderful outlook across the harbour. With fishing, swimming and watersports close by, it's also a peaceful spot to simply sit back and watch the comings and goings on the water.
Whether you're taking in the view from the upstairs outdoor seating area, relaxing in the sunroom, or cosied up in the lounge in front of the fire, there's always something to catch your eye.
The morning sunroom is a particularly lovely spot to enjoy your first cuppa in the sunshine, with the option of throwing open the doors to the charming courtyard beyond.

And then there's the staircase! A grand, elegant feature that makes quite a statement and brings a real sense of occasion to everyday life.
