26 Ward Street, Runanga, Grey, West Coast

A peaceful retreat with soul, this home sits among beautifully established gardens that have been lovingly nurtured over many years.

Built in the early 1900s and rich with its mining area’s origins, this delightful 3 bedroom cottage welcomes you with its warmth and character the moment you arrive.

Situated on a generous, sun-soaked section in the heart of Runanga, the property offers a relaxed lifestyle with space to grow. The layout inside is comfortable and homely, with scope to refresh and includes a cosy lounge, shower room, separate WC, and a scullery tucked just off the kitchen a thoughtful feature of homes from this era.

Outside is where this property truly flourishes: lush lawns, flowering borders, archways, and private pockets to sit and savour the tranquillity. It’s a setting that feels like stepping into your own secret garden.

The long driveway leads to useful single garage with tilting door and a separate outbuilding, which could be replaced with something more modern: such as a granny flat for relatives, hobby studio or sauna, and there’s ample room for green thumbs to keep expanding the oasis already created here.

Whether you’re a first home buyer seeking value and a lifestyle upgrade, a garden enthusiast with a passion for colour and creativity, or someone who simply loves the charm of a bygone era this is a place where you can settle in, unwind, and feel right at home.
