WOODROYD ESTATE - EST 1921, one of the best kept secrets of Lower Hutt and a renowned piece of real estate. Originally built for a Lower Hutt doctor - Dr Earnest Giessen a century ago, the property is very private yet only fifteen minutes away from Wellington CBD. You will love every bit of this remarkable estate. From the spacious and full of character house that was built for entertainment, to the lovely ground settings, you will find yourself among the birds, the trees, your family and nothing else. This is truly a magical spot and is available for sale for a once in a life time opportunity.
Your grand tour of this magnificent spot begins at the entrance gates and takes you one km up a paved scenic driveway, passing two sparkling waterfalls on the way. The main house has been greatly enlarged and upgraded. Tudor-style, it features generous bedrooms, including an upper-level master suite, many living and lounge areas, both formal and informal. At every step, this home exudes quality: carrara ceilings, jarra/matai floors, timber wall panels, inbuilt seating and lovely leadlight windows, fireplace surrounds made from Hutt River stones. The four bathrooms are situated internally, along with a games room with its own bar. The wine cellar and the huge farm-style kitchen is an entertainer's dream. Well-insulated, the house is warm and comfortable, full of character yet modern.
Sitting on a sizable plot of land of over 25 hectares, bordering on Belmont, it offers a platform for development. Selling together with the main estate are two other cottages for staff, home help or just to be rented out: a superb, modern, well presented two bedroom cottage with its own double garage (The Gardener's Cottage) and a separate one bedroom cottage that is private and full of character (The Nikao Cottage). Woodroyd represents a lifestyle that cannot be duplicated. Come and view to see if you can buy the same value anywhere else.
Rating Valuation $2,600,000.
