43 Holmwood Road, Fendalton, Christchurch City, Canterbury

Re-imagined for modern family living, a unique opportunity presents itself to become the next lucky owners of Millstream - a local icon of Fendalton heritage. Available for the first time in almost 20 years, the current owners have secured their relocation plans and have a clear determination to sell on or before auction day.

Originally built for an English lady in the 1920s, Millstream is a larger replica of a house called 'Bolnhurst' which sits half way across the world in Wales. Described as an English Domestic Revival gem, with arts & crafts references, Millstream has a gently curving roof and hand cut window frames. Sheltered courtyards take advantage of the garden and stream. Built mostly of Oregon Pine and native timber flooring, special features include coved ceilings, semi-circular bedroom windows and an Art Nouveau era stained glass window in the stairwell.

Modern upgrades include an in-ground pool, a living and dining room extension and a fully lined studio garage - ideal for a home office, workshop, storage or potential for a loft conversion (subject to appropriate consents, if required).

The downstairs layout offers three living rooms, designed around the kitchen as the central heart of the home. A formal sitting room at the front with French doors onto the pool area; a cosy family living room which opens onto the rear patio garden and lawn, plus the large north facing dining and casual living room. In addition to excellent aspect for sun, warmth is assured from modern insulation upgrades throughout, two gas fireplaces and under-tile heating.

Upstairs features four generous bedrooms (master with en-suite bathroom) and a modern family bathroom with tiled shower and standalone bath.

This beautiful home has been lovingly restored and enjoyed by the current family, however the children have grown up and the next life chapter in Nelson beckons. This is your chance to secure a classic heritage home right on the doorstep of great schools, Merivale village shops and coveted walking distance to Hagley Park. Don't pass up the opportunity for the next generation!
