Located in an enclave of 19th century cottages, this picturesque setting provides a significant and premium location for this heart stopping category II heritage listed home in the center of the Akaroa Village.

Originally dating back to the 1860's, the premises combined residential and commercial application as the owner cobbled shoes and resided comfortably in the home.

Sympathetically restored and beautifully presented, ornate wallpaper adorns the walls and ceilings and provides heritage enthusiasts with a portal to the past.

The open plan living is free flowing and effortlessly opens through French doors to the established garden, a wrap-around verandah draped in grape vines is the perfect place to bask in all day sun.

Two downstairs bedrooms provide excellent accommodation, the large main has the beautiful but now ornamental fireplace in situ and opens to the verandah. An upstairs loft bedroom provides another excellent bedroom for family or guests.

The 552sqm freehold section is perfectly orientated for all day sun and has gorgeous hydrangeas and Banksia roses for which the cottage takes its name. There is potential for green fingered buyers to enhance further.

Successfully operated as a night-by-night rental with outstanding reviews, this stunning property could be the ideal Akaroa holiday home with a generous income stream attached or equally as perfect as a permanent residence. So close to the shops, restaurants and waterfront, this is a must see for heritage enthusiasts who would love to own a significant part of Akaroa's rich history.
