Honeysuckle Cottage is a property of genuine character and charm, originally built in 1910 (approx.) as a two-bedroom farm cottage and lovingly held by the same family since 1975. Over five decades, this cherished home has been thoughtfully renovated and extended to honour its heritage while evolving into a functional family residence. The owners have raised their family here, creating decades of happy memories, and now, due to the need to downsize, offer a rare opportunity for the next owners to enjoy its enduring appeal.

The home now offers four bedrooms, or three bedrooms plus a dedicated office, providing flexibility for modern family living. Extensive renovations have created a welcoming open-plan living space with exposed Oregon beams and an eco-compliant log burner complemented by a heat pump for year-round comfort. Throughout the home, beautiful native timbers feature prominently, including rimu flooring, solid kauri and kahikatea doors, and rimu French doors. Handcrafted leadlight windows, made by the owner, add a unique artistic touch-most notably the bathroom window depicting a train, a nod to local Heathcote and Ferrymead heritage.

Set on a generous, private section, the property offers a peaceful outdoor environment with established gardens and a sunny brick courtyard and patio, ideal for summer BBQs and relaxed entertaining. Significant upgrades provide peace of mind, including an updated kitchen, log burner, new Color Steel roofing, guttering, downpipes, new carpet, and natural fibre curtains throughout.

Located in a highly sought-after and tranquil setting, the home enjoys close proximity to the Port Hills for recreation and scenic walks, while remaining exceptionally well connected, with the CBD 15 minutes away. This is a well-loved home on ample land in a prime location-ready for its next family to create their own cherished memories.

Auction: To be held from 10am, 5th February 2026 at Ray White City Office, 76 Hereford Street, City Centre, Christchurch (unless sold prior)
