The former Sandringham home of Dame Jacinda Ardern has sold. The property, listed with Ray White, was sold at auction via private negotiation after being withdrawn from public bidding. The new owners are reportedly "over the moon" with their purchase.

This sale follows Ardern's family move to Australia. The renovated four-bedroom, 1930s bungalow attracted significant interest from families, noted for its modern extension, multiple living areas, and private, fully-fenced backyard with a garden studio.
