Property Description

Positioned within easy reach of the beach, village cafes and local schooling, this charming character home has been lovingly held by the same owner for over 30 years. A home where memories have been made and life quietly unfolded, it now comes to market as an Estate Realisation, with clear instructions that it must be sold.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a warm and welcoming coastal home and become part of the much-loved Sumner community, where beach walks, village shops and seaside living shape the rhythm of daily life.

Inside, the home still carries the timeless character that makes these properties so special. Leadlight windows catch the morning light, ornate cornices, beautiful timber detailing and a tiled fireplace preserve the home's original era.

Natural light interiors, complemented by soft neutral tones bring warmth and ease, while the family bathroom and study nook off the hall create practical spaces for daily life.

Comfort through the seasons is well considered, with two heat pumps and a wood pellet fire assisting warmth in winter while maintaining the cosy ambience that character homes do so well.

Outside, the setting is equally appealing. The courtyard, easy care lawn and established gardens create a cottage garden atmosphere, framed by a lovely outlook up toward the hills. A mature grapevine adds to the charm, while the easy indoor-outdoor flow from the kitchen makes everyday living and entertaining feel effortless.

A separate studio adds valuable versatility, offering the potential for a home office, creative space, or additional guest accommodation depending on your needs.

An enclosed carport provides convenient off-street parking - a welcome advantage in this popular beachside location.

Set on a flat, easy-access site just moments from Sumner Village, the beach and coastal walkways, the location completes the picture of relaxed seaside living.

Homes like this, held and cared for over decades, are seldom offered. This is a property filled with warmth, history and opportunity - ready for its next chapter, could it be yours? Contact The Standevens for more information.
