22 Lucknow Road, Havelock North, Hastings, Hawke's Bay

This charming property offers a great opportunity to add value in a location which is a mere five minutes’ walk to the village. It would benefit from a little updating but is entirely livable as it is. Its owners (who have grown old here) are sad to leave and would not be doing so were it not for the rather handsome stairs. The architect designed first story was added in the 1970's and is full of character, with beams and steeply pitched ceilings following the roofline. On this upper level is the spacious main bedroom with a well-planned dressing room, a single bedroom; a bathroom with shower and very useful attic storage set above the downstairs study and second double bedroom which boasts two large wardrobes. The sizeable main bathroom is downstairs. French doors in the attractive Rimu floored living rooms open out on to a sunny terrace. A gas heater warms the downstairs rooms in winter. The current owner enjoys observing birdlife in and around the leafy grotto from her kitchen sink!. Some work in the garden will reveal its good bones which were laid down in the 1940's by the keen gardeners for whom the original house was built. This property has an appealing ambience and loads of potential.
