Restore & Reward
Steeped in history and full of character, this early 1900s Runanga miners cottage sits on a generous, sunlit section, surrounded by established gardens that have been lovingly nurtured over decades.
With 3 bedrooms, a cosy lounge, shower room, separate WC, and a scullery a charming hallmark of homes from this era this property offers the perfect base for a thoughtful transformation.
Some areas of the home show their age such as uneven floors, misaligned doors, and classic features in need of attention. For renovators, developers, or builders these are opportunities rather than obstacles and through careful vision and creative restoration, this cottage can be transformed into a standout home or investment for rental. Outside, the established gardens, private corners, and sun-soaked lawns offer a versatile canvas to complement your redesign and extend the property’s potential.
The long driveway leads to a single garage and a separate outbuilding a flexible space that could become a granny flat, sleep-out, studio, or workshop. With scope to enhance both the interior and exterior, this property is ideal for those looking to add value, restore character, or craft a bespoke home in the heart of Runanga.
A project with real potential and a vendor motivated to consider all reasonable offers.
