55d Karina Road, Merrilands, New Plymouth, Taranaki

Feel a tingle of excitement as you wander up the leafy drive to discover a rare surviving fragment of early settler times. Built in 1854, Foxglove (or Mace) Cottage, is nestled in a peaceful storybook setting and offers a beautiful immersion into a bygone era.

With a warm and inviting interior, this heritage home is full of original features and vintage charm. From the north-facing covered veranda, step through the front door and into 120sqm of cottage cuteness.

French doors open from the lounge, while the semi-open dining area flows into the kitchen. The timber-lined bathroom is complete with a clawfoot bath and traditional "pull-chain" toilet, and leads off from the dining space, creating a compact yet functional living space.

Upstairs, you'll find two double bedrooms, with a smaller single room in between, each with views of the private, leafy grounds surrounding the cottage.

Relocated to this 4921sqm site, with some of it classified as significant natural land, the home is nestled among its very own enchanted forest and sits quietly in a highly sought after suburb filled with mid-20th-century homes.

Don't miss your chance to own this one-of-a-kind home and add your name to the history books!
