21 Greenwood Road, Havelock North, Hastings

Arts and Crafts Character

In the style of or believed to be an 1927 William Rush cottage constructed of rammed earth or mud brick this very solid construction has withstood the test of time.

Well hidden behind a large fig tree and rampant creeper the entrance leads past the original motor shed with diagonal tongue and groove ceiling to the entrance porch complete with exterior meat safe and laundry.

Native timber floors, high stud, deep window sills and beam/batten ceilings are some of the period features that add an undeniable charm to the generously proportioned kitchen and living room. An open fire (that could be converted to gas) provides focus while a modern heat pump and transfer system cater for warmth. Both bedrooms are double with the larger opening to a delightful sunroom and out to the magic secret garden. The long and narrow 809sqm section with established hedging, chestnut and feijoa trees is north facing, sunny and very private complete with original period garden shed. Who would have suspected it was there from the road?

In tidy condition with the roof replaced at some stage and all the casement windows opening easily this little gem is just waiting to be brought into the 21st century.

Steeped in the rich history of this particularly sought after part of Havelock North it is an opportunity that would respond well to a number of options. Properties like these do not come on the market often.
