Bishop Matthews<br />
reopens St Barnabas<br />
VICTORIA MATTHEWS,<br />
Bishop of the Anglican Diocese<br />
of Christchurch, was keynote<br />
speaker at the reopening of St<br />
Barnabas Anglican Church.<br />
The iconic church has been<br />
repaired after earthquake<br />
damage, with costs totalling $2<br />
million. The funds were largely<br />
raised by the parish.<br />
St Barnabas vicar Mark<br />
Chamberlain said it was a<br />
marvellous first service and they<br />
also held a history lecture, dinner<br />
and variety concert.<br />

Compromise<br />
found on<br />
size of<br />
Abberley<br />
playground<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
RESIDENTS HAVE stopped a<br />
major upgrade of playground<br />
equipment at their local park<br />
because they said it would take<br />
up too much green space.<br />
The upgrades were set to go<br />
ahead in Abberley Park in March<br />
and equipment was going utilise<br />
more than double the space it<br />
previously had taken.<br />
However, after a meeting on<br />
<strong>February</strong> 16, new plans have been<br />
drafted. The Friends of Abberley<br />
Park group, the Fendalton-<br />
Waimairi-Harewood Community<br />
Board and city council staff met<br />
to significantly reduce the space<br />
the initial upgrade would have<br />
taken.<br />
City councillor and board<br />
member Aaron Keown attended<br />
the meeting and he said he was<br />
confident the new proposal found<br />
a compromise both parties could<br />
be happy with.<br />
The space taken up by play<br />
equipment is less than it was and<br />
the equipment has been moved so<br />
it is no longer taking space away<br />
from the park’s east lawn.<br />
Cr Keown said he had received<br />
emails from several members of<br />
the group who were content with<br />
the new proposed plans.<br />

In Brief<br />
TRAFFIC CONCERN<br />
A Harewood residents’ group<br />
has expressed concern over<br />
the Kilmuir Lane/Harewood<br />
Rd intersection. The Kilmuir<br />
Residents’ Group said motorists<br />
turning right out of the lane<br />
have reduced visibility because<br />
of cars parked on Harewood Rd.<br />
The major issue is when sport is<br />
being played at nearby Nunweek<br />
Park. Residents said they have<br />
all experienced at least one near<br />
miss at the junction. The group<br />
has submitted a letter to the<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board asking for<br />
no-stopping restrictions or<br />
some other safety measure to be<br />
installed.<br />
UPGRADE FINISHED<br />
Work on the intersection where<br />
Westminster and Courtenay Sts<br />
meet Roosevelt Ave has almost<br />
finished. The roundabout has<br />
been removed and turned into a<br />
staggered T-intersection with a<br />
speed bump, raised intersection<br />
platform and pedestrian<br />
refuge island. The road has<br />
been narrowed and footpaths<br />
widened to reduce the crossing<br />
distance for pedestrians and<br />
encourage slower driving in the<br />
area, which has been reinforced<br />
by the speed bump. St Albans<br />
School pupils regularly use the<br />
crossing.<br />

Veterinary practice<br />
Miracles do happen….<br />
Misty is a 14 year old Rough Coated<br />
Collie ( lassie dog) lovingly owned by<br />
my parents. She’s never been a hugely<br />
energetic dog but has the gentlest,<br />
sweetest nature. She has had the odd<br />
health issue and is currently taking<br />
ongoing medication for arthritis of<br />
multiple joints. She’s not a complainer<br />
though and will still slowly walk around<br />
my parents farm, her favourite pastime<br />
being flushing out rabbits and doing<br />
cattle work with my dad. Shes always<br />
enjoyed a visit from Lola.<br />
Very sadly late last year, Misty was<br />
accidentally run over. My devastated<br />
parents flew to the clinic where Steve<br />
and our nurses immediately took<br />
charge. Luckily they live very close. She<br />
was remarkably alive and seemed in<br />
minimal shock, not like my poor mum<br />
and dad. Our nurses were fabulous – it<br />
was like triage in a hospital ER room.<br />
Whilst she was checked over for shock,<br />
bleeding and fractures, the nurses were<br />
placing an IV line in her, were pulling<br />
bloods to check her internal organs and<br />
organizing shock and pain medications.<br />
I had to consult as it was a usual busy<br />
Saturday clinic. I can tell you its very<br />
hard to carry on as normal, when a dog<br />
you know and love is at risk of dying<br />
and I couldn’t be there to support my<br />
mum and dad. I’m very thankful to my<br />
husband Steve for arriving when he did<br />
and taking full control of the situation.<br />
Within 30 minutes of arriving Misty<br />
actually looked improved. She wasn’t<br />
wanting to stand, but her vital organs<br />
were all confirmed fine from her<br />
blood tests and her heart and lungs<br />
sounded fine. She was on IV fluids and<br />
we wanted to give her a little time on<br />
fluids before we had to sedate and<br />
xray her abdomen, chest and bones.<br />
She was an incredible little patient,<br />
never whimpering nor complaining<br />
once. Miraculously Misty had broken<br />
no bones – I was worried her pelvis or<br />
worse her lower lumbar spine could<br />
have fractured.<br />
Misty was discharged later that night<br />
into my parents care on a variety of<br />
medications to ensure she was pain<br />

free and comfortable. She certainly<br />
wasn’t out of the woods but was better<br />
than any of us could have believed.<br />
She could walk, just, and was eating<br />
and had urinated. Misty continued to<br />
improve slowly over the coming days<br />
becoming stronger and more mobile<br />
but my dad had noticed what looked<br />
like crusty scabs under her dense coat.<br />
We discovered many of these blackened<br />
areas and after shaving her back end it<br />
became obvious that a large area of her<br />
skin was “dying”, due to vascular ( blood<br />
vessel) damage suffered at the time of<br />
the accident.<br />
Over the next 4 months a massive effort<br />
was undertaken by my mum and dad<br />
and Misty herself, to help heal these<br />
very extensive skin wounds, comparable<br />
to what you would see in burns victims.<br />
The area of skin that sloughed off<br />
initially was about 30cm by 20cm. The<br />
wound has had to be cleaned, kept<br />
moist and protected by bandaging for<br />
the past 4 months. She was monitored<br />
24/7 and kept inside a lot to protect<br />
the bandages from slipping. Keeping<br />
flies away was also a difficult task. She<br />
has been so brave allowing us all to<br />
clean and dress it for her but finally the<br />
healing is nearly complete.<br />
There were times when my mum wasn’t<br />
sure we were getting anywhere and<br />
whether we were doing the right thing<br />
by her. She is an elderly dog and her<br />
ongoing care required by my parents<br />
was huge. But that aside, I could see<br />
Misty wanted to push through and keep<br />
going – she wasn’t ready to depart this<br />
world. Plus she was so dearly loved by<br />
my parents. It also helped that my mum<br />
was a registered nurse so could easily<br />
cope with large wounds and their care.<br />
Give an animal time, have patience and<br />
faith and show lots of love and miracles<br />
can happen. Every day I thank the<br />
higher powers that I am the one chosen<br />
to care for all the animals.<br />

Petrol tax for road repairs<br />
and the benefits of diversity<br />
City<br />
councillor<br />
Phil<br />
Clearwater<br />
has his say<br />
on the use<br />
of petrol tax to help<br />
fix the city’s roads<br />
and the importance<br />
of diversity in the<br />
community<br />
Many streets and roads<br />
in Christchurch still<br />
require a lot more work to<br />
bring them up to standard.<br />
I have always had the<br />
view that central Government<br />
should be returning<br />
some of the tax-take on<br />
petrol to help fix Christchurch’s<br />
streets.<br />
I have never said or<br />
supported any proposal<br />
to have any additional tax<br />
on petrol to help pay for<br />
Christchurch’s earthquake<br />
recovery. Christchurch<br />
people have enough burdens<br />
already and I would<br />
not support this.<br />
I have said that the city<br />
has a special case for further<br />
Government funding from<br />
some of the petrol tax Government<br />
already collects.<br />

Fixing our streets and<br />
infrastructure will take<br />
more time than people<br />
envisaged, but we need to<br />
complete this as soon as it<br />
is feasible, and some of the<br />
present petrol tax could be<br />
used to help achieve this.<br />
On Waitangi Day at<br />
Tuahiwi Marae, our mayor<br />
led a citizenship ceremony<br />
welcoming new citizens<br />
from 17 countries. Recently,<br />
the city council signed<br />
off our multi-cultural<br />
strategy, which aims for<br />
Christchurch to be inclusive<br />
of our new migrants.<br />
Every New Zealand<br />
citizen must feel they can<br />
call our country their<br />
home and feel they belong<br />

a large increase in the<br />
number of migrants and<br />
a significant number live<br />
in the suburbs of south<br />
Christchurch.<br />
The world is divided<br />
as to how we treat new<br />
migrants, but I believe<br />
we must find practical<br />
ways to make them feel<br />
welcome, as Christchurch<br />
needs their skills and they<br />
are an important part of<br />
our communities.<br />
Also, we have to<br />
remember that, at some<br />
stage in our history, all of<br />
our forebears immigrated<br />
to New Zealand from<br />
overseas.<br />
Six years after the<br />
earthquakes, Christchurch<br />
is really coming alive again<br />
and people from many<br />

Young musician already a master<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
ALEXANDRA Watson doesn’t<br />
have a favourite instrument to<br />
play.<br />
She plays five – and she also<br />
sings. But the violin will be<br />
her instrument of choice at the<br />
National Schools’ Symphony Orchestra<br />
of Great Britain in July.<br />
The 15-year-old St Margaret’s<br />
College student will be the only<br />
young musician to perform from<br />
outside the United Kingdom.<br />
“It’s definitely a talking point,”<br />
she said.<br />
It will be the sixth year<br />
she has taken part in the<br />
week-long camp of rehearsals<br />
and performances for young<br />
musicians aged between nine<br />
and 19.<br />
She auditioned to join at<br />
the age of 10 while living in<br />
Eastbourne, West Sussex, and<br />
has been invited back every year<br />
since.<br />
She has moved her way up to<br />
the senior orchestra, which is for<br />
musicians grade eight or above.<br />
The orchestra will be conducted<br />
by Richard Dickins, director<br />
of music at London’s Imperial<br />
College – where Alexandra<br />
hopes to study one day.<br />
“When I leave school I want to<br />
study physics and music.”<br />
Alexandra started singing and<br />
playing the violin when she was<br />
two.<br />
Since then, she has also taken<br />
up the piano, flute, chello and<br />
harp – all of which she has<br />
reached or is about to reach<br />
grade eight in.<br />
“I just kept picking them up.”<br />
She is also part of a number of<br />
choirs and, in her school breaks,<br />
studies song writing and theory<br />
at Canterbury University.<br />
Alexandra has also been<br />
selected for a place in the New<br />
Zealand Symphony Orchestra<br />
Mentoring Programme with<br />
associate concertmaster Donald<br />
Armstrong.<br />
Music is not her only passion.<br />
She also wants to work at NASA.<br />
She has attended two space<br />
camps in Huntsville, Alabama,<br />
and loved them.<br />

Alexandra and her parents<br />
will head to the UK in July for<br />

College and will visit her<br />
grandmother during their stay.<br />
She said every time she had<br />
attended, she had learnt a lot.<br />

such a high-quality orchestra,<br />
even though it’s secondary<br />
students, everyone is of a high<br />

proposal is not ideal but she<br />
thinks it is as good as they’re<br />
going to get.<br />
There are some things<br />
the group would like more<br />
clarification on such as whether<br />
the playground will extend past<br />
the central park bench.<br />
She said it has become hard to<br />
get explanations around the finer<br />
points of the proposal.<br />
Project manager Steven Gray<br />
said the new proposal will be put<br />
towards the community board<br />
before it is finalised.<br />
At this stage construction is still<br />
set to begin in March.<br />
Leaflets were delivered to 1300<br />
residents before city council<br />
staff planned the first proposal<br />
but Miss Andrews said it was<br />
not made clear that this was not<br />
a simple upgrade of existing<br />
playground equipment but a<br />
$150,000 upgrade and extension.<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />
A ST Albans business made $40<br />
a day while cycleway upgrades<br />
removed parking from outside<br />
the shop.<br />
Rutland St Dairy owner Jackson<br />
Zhuang said he made only<br />
20 per cent of his usual takings<br />
over several days in <strong>February</strong>.<br />
Mr Zhuang said the $40 daily<br />
take would not cover wages,<br />
rent, insurance, rates, orders for<br />
the shop or the power bill, let<br />
alone the mortgage on his home<br />
and supporting his family.<br />
A post on Facebook from Mr<br />
Zhuang’s regular customers was<br />
shared more than 100 times and<br />
generated a boost in customers<br />
over the weekend.<br />
He said his takings were up<br />
for a few days and he was happy<br />
with the way the community rallied<br />
to support local businesses.<br />
The roadworks had moved<br />
from directly outside the shop,<br />
but Mr Zhuang said the afternoons<br />
were still very quiet.<br />
“Before 3pm is fine, but after<br />
three we are very quiet and after<br />
three is usually our main selling<br />
time,” he said.<br />
The Papanui Parallel cycleway<br />
upgrades began outside the shop<br />
three weeks ago as part of the<br />
city council’s wider cycleway<br />
Dairy struggles with roadworks<br />
In Brief<br />
$40 a DAY: The Rutland St Dairy has only made 20 per cent of<br />
its usual takings over several days due to work on upgrading<br />
the Papanui Parallel cycleway.<br />
programme and will continue<br />
until May.<br />
The cycleway will cut parking<br />
to one side of Rutland St, but after<br />
local businesses complained<br />
to the city council, its has tried<br />
to limit their losses.<br />
Mr Zhuang said the city<br />
council should be spending the<br />
money on harder hit areas of<br />
Christchurch like New Brighton<br />
or the central city.<br />
“I hope the cycleway improves<br />
business when it’s finished, but<br />
it’s not helping the whole community<br />
now.”<br />
Mr Zhuang said he wants<br />
things to return to normal so he<br />
can carry on doing the best by<br />
his customers and community.<br />
He said before the roadworks<br />
began, Christchurch Central<br />
MP Nicky Wagner came into<br />
the shop and assured him work<br />
would be completed as quickly<br />
as possible.<br />
Neighbouring store, Cocoa<br />
Gifts, has also seen a drop in<br />
walk-in customers since the<br />
work began.<br />
Cocoa Gifts owner Liz van<br />
Montfort said, while it has been<br />
very disruptive to business, she<br />
has been supported by a very<br />
loyal community.<br />
Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board chairwoman Ali Jones<br />
said she would look into how<br />
many people are working on the<br />
cycleway upgrade so they can get<br />
it finished as soon as possible.<br />
“It seems underdone in terms<br />
of workers, but I’m no expert,”<br />
she said.<br />
The board has been in contact<br />
with Fulton Hogan which is undertaking<br />
the work. It has been<br />
liaising with business owners<br />
regularly about the effects of the<br />
cycleway upgrade work.<br />
HEAD OF SCHOOLS<br />
Isleworth School principal<br />
Jeanette Shearer has been<br />
named leader of the new<br />

process was conducted by a<br />
group made up of board of<br />

schools. The schools will be<br />
working together to meet the<br />
achievement challenges set<br />
by the community’s<br />

Siblings dominate surf champs<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
A YOUNG brother and sister are<br />
taking the surf life saving scene<br />
by storm.<br />
At the Southern Region Junior<br />
Championships, Samantha<br />
Lascelles, 10, and brother<br />
Alexander, 7, were both crowned<br />
overall champions in their age<br />
groups.<br />
Between them, they won 11<br />
medals at the recent competition<br />
on Warrington Beach, near<br />
Dunedin.<br />
Selwyn House student<br />
Samantha received six of the<br />
medals, and Alexander, who<br />
is a pupil at Elmwood Normal<br />
School, won five.<br />
Samantha has been named the<br />
junior champion every year since<br />
she began competing three years<br />
ago.<br />
The siblings compete and train<br />
with the Sumner Surf Life Saving<br />
Club, which came second in the<br />
overall club rankings, losing the<br />
top spot to Dunedin’s St Clair.<br />
Surf Life Saving Christchurch<br />
manager Henry Lawson said it’s<br />
great to see juniors excelling and<br />
the next generation of life guards<br />
coming through.<br />
Father Richard Lascelles said<br />
THE CITY’S top surf life saving<br />
clubs were pipped by St Clair<br />
at the weekend’s Southern<br />
Regional Championships in New<br />
Brighton.<br />
The venue for next month’s<br />
New Zealand Surf Life Saving<br />
Championships hosted more<br />
than 260 athletes in 20 events<br />
over four different age groups.<br />
Extra hype surrounded the<br />
event with the champs acting as<br />
a prelude to the nationals, which<br />
will be held at New Brighton on<br />
March 16 to 19.<br />
“It was great to see the number<br />
of clubs that were involved this<br />
year. The weather on Saturday<br />
SPORTS<br />
the siblings first began training<br />
up on Onemana Beach in the<br />
Coromandel when they were five<br />
and three respectively.<br />
Onemana is a dangerous<br />
swimming beach and the surf<br />
club there ran an excellent fitness<br />
and training programme, which<br />
the kids loved, he said.<br />
While it began as something<br />
they only did on holiday, when<br />
Samantha began winning, they<br />
decided she was good enough to<br />
enter at home.<br />
Mr Lascelles said the secret<br />
to their success was not living<br />
and breathing life saving – the<br />
pair are always active and always<br />
doing something different.<br />
“They’re usually doing<br />
something every day, but they<br />
train in a variety of sports, they<br />
don’t do 10 sessions on the same<br />
thing,” he said.<br />
They swim, run, play cricket,<br />
do athletics and cross country,<br />
as well as surf life saving in the<br />
summer, he said.<br />
“They love it. It’s good fun.”<br />
Samantha and Alexander<br />
hope to add more medals to<br />
their collection at the surf<br />
life saving Canterbury Junior<br />
Championships.<br />
was great, and Sunday definitely<br />
added another challenge, but the<br />
on-water conditions were still really<br />
good for racing,” said Henry<br />
Lawson, southern region life saving<br />
and education manager.<br />
South Brighton were the best<br />
of the local clubs. However, they<br />
were unable to retain their title,<br />
finishing second to St Clair who<br />
dominated the team points.<br />

Another Boyle on the horizon<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
THE BOYLE name is<br />
synonymous with cricket in<br />
Canterbury – now Matt Boyle<br />
looks set to be the latest cab<br />
off the rank after a blistering<br />
summer to date.<br />
Boyle, 14, was key with the<br />
bat, helping St<br />
Bede’s College<br />
qualify for the<br />
national finals of<br />
the junior secondary<br />
school boys’<br />
competition.<br />
Jack Boyle<br />
Justin<br />
Boyle<br />
He comes from<br />
a talented cricketing<br />
family. His<br />
father Justin was<br />
a prominent firstclass<br />
cricketer for<br />
Canterbury in the<br />
1980s. His uncle<br />
David also played<br />
for Canterbury<br />
in the 1980s and<br />
1990s, while his<br />
older brother Jack made his<br />
first-class debut for Canterbury<br />
last year and has represented the<br />
province at least half a dozen<br />
times.<br />
Now the year 10 student top<br />
scored with 65 as St Bede’s<br />
defeated Christchurch Boys’<br />
High School by three wickets in<br />
the regional final last week. They<br />
will now head to the national<br />
tournament in Palmerston<br />
North next month.<br />
Boyle recently picked up the<br />
year 9 batting award at the<br />
Christchurch Metro Cricket<br />
youth awards after scoring 613<br />
runs at an average of 153 in his<br />
first year at high school.<br />
He has since earned a spot<br />
in the St Bede’s first XI and<br />
recently scored his first century<br />
for the team.<br />
His maiden first XI century<br />
came in the school’s traditional<br />
game against Sacred Heart College<br />
in Auckland. He went in to<br />
bat with the score at 30/5 and<br />
went on to score 110 not out.<br />
He has a way to go to catch<br />
a school record held by older<br />
brother, Jack, who scored a record<br />
10 first XI centuries during<br />
his time at St Bede’s. However,<br />
Jack’s confident his younger<br />
brother can go on to eclipse him.<br />
“He’s still got four years ahead<br />
of him; I definitely didn’t score<br />
any as a year 10. I’d imagine he<br />
will go on to pass that before he<br />
finishes,” said Jack.<br />
Their father Justin, who is<br />
rector at St Bede’s, is the first XI<br />
batting coach and believes Matt<br />
Boyle can carry on the family<br />
tradition of playing first-class<br />
cricket.<br />
“Jack’s first century was at<br />
the beginning of year 12, so as<br />
long as Matt keeps his feet on<br />
the ground he could do it,” said<br />
Justin.<br />
While he may have plenty of<br />
time to chase down his brother’s<br />
record, Boyle and the St Bede’s<br />
junior team will have their eyes<br />
set on a national title when the<br />
junior secondary school boys’<br />
competition tournament begins<br />
on March 27.<br />
PROMISING: Matt Boyle<br />
received a batting award at<br />
this month’s Christchurch<br />
Metro Cricket youth awards. <br />
CGHS row to<br />
under-19 title<br />
NATIONALS: The top Christchurch Girls’ High School<br />
coxed four team won the under-19 title at the New<br />
Zealand Rowing Championships in Twizel. Laura<br />
Pinnell, Grace Loveridge, Emily Nicholson-Sell,<br />
Georgia Sevier and Georgia Scott (coxswain) won<br />
their heat and earned the top qualifying time going<br />
into the final. In the big race, CGHS pushed off the<br />
starting blocks in first position with Columba College<br />
from Dunedin close behind the whole race. They<br />
held out Columba, ultimately winning the final by just<br />
one second. The crew went on to finish third at the<br />
weekend’s Canterbury junior regatta at Ashburton’s<br />
Lake Hood. They finished behind St Margaret’s<br />
College and Rangi Ruru Girls’ School. The crew will<br />
now turn their attention to the South Island secondary<br />
school champs on March 11 to 12.<br />

New after-hours service<br />
provides flexibility for patients<br />
A new after-hours medical service has<br />
been launched in Christchurch with the<br />
aim of providing a better and more readily<br />
accessible service for patients outside<br />
normal medical centre hours.<br />
Dr Martin Seers, a GP at the Selwyn<br />
Medical Centre in Selwyn Street, says a<br />
group of GPs are testing this new model for<br />
out-of-hours medical service that enables<br />
people to book a specific time to see a<br />
doctor, rather than having to sit in an afterhours<br />
waiting room.<br />
He says anyone seeking medical assistance<br />
after hours should first call their own GP’s<br />
phone number, from where they will be<br />
connected to the Home Care Medical line.<br />
As with the Health Line phone service, a<br />
nurse will ask a set of questions to ascertain<br />
whether the person needs to see a doctor,<br />
and if not the nurse will advise on how the<br />
person can take care of themself at home.<br />
Should they need to see a doctor they<br />
then go online to the website AfterhoursGP.<br />
co.nz, answer a few simple questions, then<br />
book an appointment at a time that suits.<br />
“This a totally new model and it’s not<br />
available anywhere else in Canterbury,” Dr<br />
Seers says.<br />
“It saves people money by providing selfcare<br />
advice for those who don’t need to see<br />
a GP, and for those who do, it doesn’t waste<br />
their time.”<br />
The service is currently run out of<br />
Selwyn Street Medical Centre, which is<br />
conveniently located just off Brougham<br />
St, but the service is set up to be venue<br />
agnostic, so patients in future could be<br />
seen in any of the medical centres involved<br />
in the service, Dr Seers says. A key point of<br />
difference from the traditional after-hours<br />
surgery system is that it gives people the<br />
flexibility of choosing their appointment<br />
time.<br />
“It’s much more comfortable for people<br />
to wait at home until their appointment<br />
time, rather than sitting in a waiting room<br />
with other unwell people, and not knowing<br />
when they will be seen.<br />
“Another point of difference is that<br />
the service is designed as an ultralow<br />
bureaucracy system with minimal<br />
overheads. Using the facilities of existing,<br />
fully equipped medical centres means it’s<br />
free or less expensive,” Dr Seers says.<br />
The service is available Monday to<br />
Friday from 6pm-11pm and on weekends<br />
and public holidays as required. It is free<br />
for under-13 year-olds and $73 for most<br />
adults, which is cheaper than other afterhours<br />
services in Christchurch. For non-<br />
New Zealand residents the cost is $95.<br />

6 bedrooms | 4 bathrooms | 4 toilets | 3 living rooms | 1 dining room | 1 office | 1 swimming pool | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing # BE192731<br />
This grand Dame offers the best of<br />
hill living on a generous scale with no<br />
compromise. Renovated to the plans of<br />
Sheppard & Rout this home is truly a<br />
timeless classic with traditional features<br />
and modern conveniences throughout. Set<br />
in seclusion, privacy is assured to the new<br />
owner, but the views over the city remain<br />
unobstructed.<br />
Six double bedrooms, four bathrooms<br />
and multiple living spaces give ample room<br />
for family living or perhaps the opportunity<br />
of multi-generational living, or even to<br />
create a home business such as a B & B?<br />
For the cook, there is a large modern<br />
kitchen complimented with a genuine cool<br />
room, large larder and even more pantry<br />
space. Truly a dream come true for the<br />
serious cook.<br />
Add to this a sheltered extremely private<br />
swimming pool for these hot summer days<br />
and when the sun stops step inside to the<br />
media room complete with projector and<br />
screen. The only problem you may have is<br />
getting your friends to leave!<br />
Upstairs on the top level a purpose<br />
designed studio is ideal for a home business,<br />
artist studio and even a teenage retreat.<br />
And finally, to complete the property, the<br />
access is easy to off street parking for up<br />
to 3 or 4 cars with a large double internal<br />
access garage.<br />
This is a rare home - easy access, superb<br />
views, complete privacy & large section.<br />
To arrange a private viewing of this<br />
property call Debbie Pettigrew from<br />

A New Year brings new decisions and choices.<br />

Kathryn Hampton<br />
Licensed Sales Consultant<br />
We make important choices throughout our life; what schools our<br />
children will go to, what food we eat, what friends we have, where<br />
to go on holiday, and the values we instil in our children. Two of the<br />
biggest choices we have to make are; where we live and when to<br />
sell and buy. A crucial component of the process is selecting the<br />
right licensed real estate agent to guide you through the mountain<br />
of information and industry jargon. An agent can assist in the<br />
important task of identifying the right buyer for your house, as well<br />
as understanding your unique requirements and make your next<br />
dream home a reality. It takes great negotiation and sales skills<br />
teamed with effective target marketing to deliver the very best<br />
results. Kathryn and Peter can offer you an exceptional real estate<br />
experience. Working as a team we collectively together want to<br />
achieve the very best results and the best outcome. Give us a call<br />
today, we would really like to hear from you.<br />

Client Comments<br />
We sold our house in Strowan Road. We were fortunate that we listed with experienced local agents Peter and Kathryn Hampton to perform this task on<br />
our behalf. We were very impressed by Peter and Kathryn’s knowledge of the local area. The Marketing campaign which fitted in with our budget suggested<br />
by Peter and Kathryn attrached a large number of people to the Open Home viewings. Throughout the three weeks sales period, Peter and Kathryn’s<br />
communication and buyer feedback was invaluable and greatly appreciated. Their professional attitude and honesty gave us confidence to trust his decisions.<br />
We would have no hesitation in recommending Peter and Kathryn Hampton to anybody looking at selling their house.<br />
Brian and Maryanne<br />
Many thanks Peter and Kathryn for doing such a great job in selling our house. We appreciated your knowledge of the local market, your ability to listen, your<br />
calm demeanours and your straight forward and clear communication (without any annoying jargon!) The selling price was above our expectations and that<br />
was down to your hard work and experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.<br />
Cherry<br />
I listed my three bedroomed villa with Peter and Kathryn Hampton, and have been extremely happy with the process and outcome. Their local knowledge and<br />
past experience with other properties in the area proved to be invaluable to help convince buyers that ‘this was one of them.’ From the outset, I was determined<br />
to find an agent that was realistic with market value, knew their stuff and would not tell me what they thought I wanted to hear. Coupled with a close working<br />
relationship, as well as the ever important sale, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.<br />
