Held in the same family for almost half a century, this quintessential Kiwi bach is possibly one of the last remaining original beach cottages from the beginning of last century when holiday makers would come to the seaside by tram or horse-drawn carriages! The current guardians of this charming little property have come to the difficult decision to pass this slice of history on to another, fully aware that a quite different fate may await.

Set on 516sqm in this quiet street very much part of Sumner’s elite position but hidden away from bustling weekend visitors, some may see this as a prime site on which to build anew. In this north facing position there are rural views of the surrounding hills and it’s an easy stroll to the beach and village. Others may relish the opportunity to revamp entirely, maintaining the character, but modernizing all round. Right now, the cottage is presented in a joyful array of colour inside and out, a whimsical display, perfectly in keeping with the time and purpose!

We urge your early inspection here. This is rarely available, and it is not often we can offer an affordable entry level into this celebrated position. Here you can enjoy peace and privacy or choose to venture out at any time into vibrant Sumner Village, prospering as never before. Despite exuberant growth, this remains an intimate and welcoming community where you will soon become a ‘local’. Be quick. It has taken a while, but this is definitely for sale!
