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 />

is really coming alive again<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 />

She said every time she had<br />

attended, she had learnt a lot.<br />

Mrs Wallace said the new<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 />

<strong>News</strong><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 />

Waimairi-iri Community of<br />

Learning. The appointment<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 />

130 Hackthorne Road, Cashmere<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<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 />

Peter and Kathryn Hampton<br />

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

<strong>2017</strong> has started with many people choosing to<br />

move homes, buy a car or organise another holiday.<br />

Licensed Sales Consultant<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 />
