Motorists<br />

ignoring<br />

stop signs<br />

concerns<br />

resident<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

LAWRY WOOTTON often<br />

sees motorists running the stop<br />

signs at the end of his street –<br />

sometimes at speed.<br />

The resident of Matlock St,<br />

Woolston, says measures need to<br />

be taken to make the stop signs at<br />

the intersection of his street and<br />

Randolph St safer.<br />

The city council says this is not<br />

a priority.<br />

Said Mr Wootton: “We’ve had<br />

a few accidents down the corner,<br />

two major ones, actually, where<br />

somebody had to be cut out of a<br />

car a couple of years or so ago and<br />

there was another car that went<br />

through a house on the corner,<br />

where children are.”<br />

When these crashes happened<br />

there was a give way at the end of<br />

the street and this was replaced<br />

with stop signs but these have been<br />

ineffective, said Mr Wootton.<br />

“I can see quite clearly from<br />

my house the stop signs . . . I<br />

see on an average, it would be a<br />

high 92 per cent of cars, they just<br />

amble through stop signs, only a<br />

handful actually stop,” he said.<br />

Group formed to prevent crime<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

A COMMUNITY watch group<br />

has been set up to reduce youth<br />

disorder and crime in Rowley<br />

and Hoon Hay.<br />

It will also aim to support<br />

troubled youth and encourage<br />

them to make good decisions.<br />

Rowley resident and mother<br />

of six Susana Muamua set up<br />

the group now consisting of 21<br />

members.<br />

A meeting was held on<br />

Thursday at Rowley Community<br />

Centre, with residents, Constable<br />

Rick Groen and Wigram MP<br />

Megan Woods to discuss how<br />

the community can help police<br />

reduce crime and disorder in<br />

Hoon Hay.<br />

Five police recently started<br />

patrolling Rowley and Hoon Hay<br />

more frequently.<br />

Mrs Muamua said members<br />

of the community watch group<br />

will aim to address bad youth<br />

behaviour before it turns into<br />

crime and will work with other<br />

community patrol groups.<br />

“These youths have done wrong<br />

but what we need to do as adults<br />

is to obviously find out who they<br />

are. They need to be responsible<br />

and take responsibility for their<br />

actions and understand that what<br />

they’re doing is wrong and they<br />

need support.<br />

“It’s just a small group of people<br />

who are doing wrong but for<br />

me, I’m not a person that would<br />

like to approach this in an angry<br />

manner,” she said.<br />

The community watch group’s<br />

members have already started<br />

looking out for youth in Rowley<br />

and Hoon Hay, said Mrs Muamua.<br />

She said this has involved “volunteering<br />

a few hours of your<br />

time to just go out there, go for<br />

a walk around . . . and also just<br />

see if everything’s okay, check<br />

on the parks, the shops, keep an<br />

eye out. We’re not taking matters<br />

into our own hands but we’re<br />

trying to help and prevent things<br />

happening and also assist the<br />

police as well.<br />

“Working together can<br />

In Brief<br />

PIPE UPGRADES<br />

The water submain pipes on<br />

Sydney St between Simeon St and<br />

Selwyn St are being replaced. The<br />

work started late last month and<br />

should be finished by <strong>February</strong> 21.<br />

This is part of the city council’s<br />

Annual Renewals Project.<br />

GRASS KEPT SHORT<br />

The grass at Westmorland East<br />

Valley Reserve has been cut. The<br />

length of the grass was raised as a<br />

concern last year and city council<br />

staff have kept it short so far this<br />

year. In a report to the Spreydon-<br />

Cashmere Community Board,<br />

staff said this will continue to be a<br />

priority throughout summer and<br />

spring and remain on a regular<br />

maintenance schedule.<br />

COMMUNITY MARKET<br />

The second Lalaga Night Market<br />

is planned to be held on <strong>February</strong><br />

14 at Te Komanawa Rowley<br />

Avenue School. The first market<br />

was led by Rowley Resource<br />

Centre on December 6 and<br />

offered a variety of food, craft<br />

stalls, entertainment and a chop<br />

suey bake-off.<br />

PATHWAY REPAIRED<br />

The pathway by the changing<br />

sheds at Beckenham Park<br />

has been repaired. This was<br />

previously damaged and raised<br />

as a concern to city council staff,<br />

which led to the repairs.<br />

Free refills<br />

to combat<br />

plastic waste<br />

PIONEER Recreation & Sport<br />

Centre is amongst the Canterbury<br />

businesses aiming to cut down<br />

plastic pollution by providing free<br />

water bottle refills.<br />

Pioneer, Graham Condon,<br />

Taiora QEII and Jellie Park recreation<br />

and sport centres, have joined<br />

the network of RefillNZ stations.<br />

RefillNZ is a non-profit organisation<br />

that enlists hospitality<br />

outlets around the country<br />

to allow visitors to fill up their<br />

reusable water bottles from the<br />

tap for free.<br />

It provides a poster and stickers<br />

to participating businesses<br />

letting people know that water<br />

refilling is available on site. The<br />

network also provides information<br />

about the location of public<br />

drinking fountains.<br />

RefillNZ founder Jill Ford<br />

said 66 cafes, hotels, vineyards,<br />

i-sites and other hospitality<br />

businesses are now involved in<br />

the initiative across Canterbury,<br />

including The Store in Tai Tapu,<br />

South Brighton Holiday Park, and<br />

Laneway Espresso on Durham St.<br />

Three campaigners are working<br />

for RefillNZ to introduce<br />

new outlets to the scheme with<br />

a goal of signing up 150 sites<br />

around the region this year.<br />

State of the art materials used at school<br />

CATHOLIC Cathedral College’s<br />

new office, administration and<br />

classroom building is being<br />

constructed using resilient,<br />

sustainable systems, with timber<br />

at its core.<br />

Cross laminated timber,<br />

known as CLT, forms the threestorey<br />

$5.6 million building’s<br />

structural framework and this is<br />

just the beginning.<br />

Catholic Cathedral College is<br />

an integrated Catholic co-educational<br />

secondary school. It was<br />

founded in 1987 but its origins<br />

go back more than 150 years.<br />

The college is an amalgamation<br />

of two schools – Sacred Heart<br />

College for girls and Xavier College<br />

for boys and today has a roll<br />

of 460.<br />

Catholic Education Office<br />

manager Mike Nolan said the<br />

urgent message of Pope Francis<br />

relates to the need to care for our<br />

common home.<br />

“Cross laminated timber<br />

brings a huge advantage to the<br />

environment through efficient<br />

application of the world’s most<br />

sustainable, renewable, building<br />

resource – wood. The primary<br />

environmental benefit of this<br />

type of construction, over a<br />

more conventional steel and<br />

concrete solution, is the reduced<br />

greenhouse emissions associated<br />

with the construction materials,”<br />

he said.<br />

CONSTRUCTION: Catholic Education Office manager Mike<br />

Nolan and Catholic Cathedral College principal Tony Shaw in<br />

front of a new cross-laminated timber school building being<br />

constructed. ​<br />

Timber construction materials<br />

have lower embodied carbon<br />

than traditional construction<br />

materials, which is a measure<br />

of the sum of all the emissions<br />

generated during the manufacture<br />

of the building products<br />

and materials used in the new<br />

building.<br />

Wood takes in carbon dioxide<br />

straight from the atmosphere<br />

as the trees grow, resulting in a<br />

small carbon footprint, whereas<br />

steel and concrete have high<br />

embodied carbon that cannot be<br />

offset.<br />

Said Mr Nolan: “Figures we<br />

have received for a hypothetical<br />

similar building using steel and<br />

concrete on the level one and<br />

level two floors, shows a net<br />

increase of approximately 334<br />

tonnes of carbon compared with<br />

cross-laminate timber. Using<br />

wood means a negative total<br />

carbon footprint of 160 tonnes,<br />

while steel and concrete would<br />

add 174 tonnes to the environment.<br />

“In simple terms it equates to<br />

taking 110 standard cars off the<br />

road for one year,” he said.<br />

Work commenced on the new<br />

WSP-designed building in July<br />

and is expected to take a year<br />

to construct. The building will<br />

include a new administration,<br />

reception, offices and staffroom<br />

on the ground floor; four teaching<br />

spaces and offices on the first<br />

floor and the same on the second<br />

floor.<br />

The building will also feature<br />

a heat recovery mechanical<br />

ventilation system, low energy<br />

lighting and elevator, and a high<br />

rated thermal envelope reducing<br />

the energy use of the building<br />

when in operation.<br />

Timber, in this application,<br />

provides a resilient structural<br />

solution, that is expected to sustain<br />

minimal structural damage<br />

following a major earthquake,<br />

further adding to its sustainability.<br />

“While the use of timber<br />

in mid-rise commercial/<br />

educational buildings is well<br />

established in Europe, it is an<br />

emerging technology type in<br />

New Zealand, and we are excited<br />

about timber’s resilience and<br />

efficiency,” Mr Nolan said.<br />

I've been running a bespoke software development company in<br />

Christchurch since the end of 2018. One of my biggest struggles has always<br />

been to find reliable and talented developers to help me with projects<br />

when things get busy. I originally reached out to the team at Vision<br />

College to do some mentoring. I mentioned my struggles and they put me<br />

in contact with one of their students, Declan.<br />

Declan has been such a help, his ability to be productive right<br />

away and the ease in which he picked up new concepts was<br />

impressive. It really is a testament to the fact that vision<br />

college isn't just teaching specific technologies and theory,<br />

but rather empowering their students to become lifelong<br />

learners. In the software development industry, you never<br />

stop learning. There is always something new and better,<br />

and Declan has really proven himself more than capable of<br />

keeping up. I look forward to a long term relationship with<br />

Vision College and am already talking to another student<br />

there to help more.<br />

Call to lower speeds<br />

•From page 1<br />

Mr Wootton has seen vehicles<br />

drive along Matlock St, where<br />

the speed limit is 50km/h, at<br />

70km/h. He said the street is<br />

narrow and this is putting the<br />

lives of pedestrians at risk,<br />

including Linwood College<br />

students, elderly people and<br />

mothers with young children<br />

travelling to kindergartens in the<br />

area.<br />

“It’s a very, very dangerous<br />

situation on that corner,” said<br />

Mr Wootton.<br />

However, a city council<br />

spokesperson said it has only<br />

received two complaints about<br />

cars speeding along Matlock St<br />

in the last year and there have<br />

been no crashes reported in this<br />

time period.<br />

Mr Wootton has a list of solutions<br />

he thinks would make the<br />

stop signs at the end of Matlock<br />

St safer and he wants these to be<br />

considered before someone is<br />

injured or killed.<br />

These solutions include<br />

painting road markings along<br />

the street which give drivers<br />

better warning that the stop<br />

signs are looming, lowering the<br />

speed limit to either 40km/h or<br />

30km/h, installing speed bumps<br />

or speed cameras, or police<br />

monitoring speeds in the area<br />

CONCERNED: Lawry Wootton often sees cars running the<br />

stop signs at the intersection of Matlock and Randolph Sts,<br />

Woolston.<br />

more often.<br />

Said a city council<br />

spokesperson: “Traffic calming<br />

measures such as speed bumps<br />

could be installed at the Matlock<br />

St/Randolph St intersection, but<br />

currently they would not rank as<br />

a high priority compared<br />

to locations with higher crash<br />

rates. Lowering the speed limit<br />

could be considered in the<br />

future.”<br />

Cycle ride fundraiser<br />

ends successfully in Bluff<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

WILLIAM HICKFORD and<br />

Holly Ffowcs Williams have<br />

pedalled the length of New<br />

Zealand to raise $8560 for<br />

people with dementia and<br />

Alzheimer’s disease.<br />

William, 17, cycled about<br />

3000km from Cape Reinga to<br />

Bluff between December 28 and<br />

January 17, with Holly joining<br />

him on the South Island leg of the<br />

ride and finishing one day later.<br />

Former Cashmere High<br />

School student William was<br />

inspired to complete the ride<br />

to help people like his grandfather<br />

Roy Pemberton, who has<br />

dementia and also cycled the<br />

length of New Zealand for charity<br />

about seven years ago.<br />

William and his bike got<br />

through the ride without issue.<br />

“Bike-wise, absolutely nothing<br />

went wrong and then pretty<br />

much the same with my body, I<br />

had no problems the whole way<br />

down,” he said.<br />

The highlight of William’s<br />

journey was riding over the<br />

Haast Pass but there was no<br />

better feeling for him than<br />

finishing.<br />

“I was just so relieved not having<br />

to wake up the next day and<br />

get on my bike.”<br />

William said his family are “all<br />

FINISH LINE: William<br />

Hickford and Holly Ffowcs<br />

Williams at the finish line in<br />

Bluff. ​<br />

super proud” of him for what he<br />

has achieved and his grandfather<br />

is “just a bit jealous that he wasn’t<br />

allowed to come with me.”<br />

Holly, who also went to Cashmere,<br />

said the South Island leg<br />

took a physical and mental toll.<br />

She stopped for physio on her<br />

knees in Wanaka but powered<br />

through to finish the ride.<br />

She said crossing the finish<br />

line was a great feeling but the<br />

reality has not sunk in yet.<br />

“The scenery for the last two<br />

days was very boring, I would<br />

never do it again.”<br />

William and Holly’s next<br />

goal is to reach their $10,000<br />

fundraising target.<br />

the college campus last week and<br />

said he immediately liked it.<br />

“I was happy it was all over, it<br />

was a long process and you’re not<br />

sure where you are going to go.<br />

“I went there with my Dad to<br />

check it out and after the first<br />

day I was pretty confident I was<br />

going to sign there.”<br />

Webley will study business.<br />

He was a standout big man for<br />

Cashmere during his four years<br />

with the team and will link-up<br />

with his new team in August, in<br />

time for the college season.<br />

The 2.09m centre was a major<br />

contributor to Cashmere earning<br />

fourth at the nationals in Palmerston<br />

North, last October which<br />

was their best ever finish.<br />

Webley averaged more than 30<br />

points a game and was a major<br />

force in the paint.<br />

He also scored 51 points in the<br />

quarter-final against Tauranga<br />

Boys’ College where he added<br />

17 rebounds and seven assists<br />

which helped him make the<br />

tournament team.<br />

Webley said he had offers from<br />

multiple schools but he was<br />

impressed with Hartford and<br />

the way they committed to him<br />

straight away,<br />

“They made me an offer on the<br />

first phone call and then meeting<br />

coach Gallagher was great.<br />

“I met my teammates and I’ve<br />

watched some of their trainings<br />

and I liked how the coach (John<br />

Gallagher) interacted with the<br />

guys plus it’s one of the top business<br />

schools in the country.”<br />

DOMINANT:<br />

in action<br />

during his<br />

four-year<br />

tenure with<br />

Cashmere<br />

High School.<br />

Right –<br />

Webley and<br />

Hartford<br />

Hawks<br />

coach John<br />

Gallagher.<br />

Webley said the confidence he<br />

gained as a player while playing<br />

at Cashmere made this happen.<br />

“I knew I was a good player<br />

but I didn’t have the confidence<br />

to take my game to the next level<br />

but that changed last year,” he<br />

said.<br />

“It was self-belief.”<br />

He will make the move in<br />

either May or August.<br />

Cashmere coach Paul Conner<br />

said Hartford would be a good fit<br />

for him.<br />

“It looks like he will get plenty<br />

of court time and he will play for<br />

a coach who is keen to use big<br />

centres,” Conner said.<br />

He said Webley’s progression<br />

over the past 15 months was “off<br />

the charts” and he expected him<br />

to only get better.<br />

“In year 12 he just didn’t have<br />

the physical presence he had last<br />

year.<br />

“There is no end to how far<br />

someone like Tom could go in<br />

the sport.<br />

“If you put another 15 to 20kg<br />

on his frame over the next wee<br />

while, then he will be one heck<br />

of a player,” he said.<br />

Personal bests<br />

for wheelchair<br />

racer in Australia<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

CASHMERE HIGH School<br />

wheelchair racer Montana Brown<br />

has completed a successful two<br />

weeks competing in Australia.<br />

Brown competed in the Summer<br />

Down Under Wheelchair<br />

Racing Series in Canberra and<br />

Australia Day 10km road race in<br />

Sydney<br />

She competed in four events<br />

over two nights in Canberra, producing<br />

three personal best times<br />

in all of her races.<br />

She produced a 6sec personal<br />

best in the 200m, crossing the<br />

line in 44.49 to finish sixth in the<br />

final.<br />

In the prelims of the 400m she<br />

took 20sec off her top time in<br />

finishing in 1min 40.06sec but<br />

missed out on the finals.<br />

Brown almost broke the three<br />

minute barrier in the 800m<br />

finishing in 3min 02.31sec which<br />

was 20sec better than her previous<br />

fastest time to finish 11th overall.<br />

She then took more than a<br />

minute off her best 1500m time<br />

to finish in 5min 43.55sec during<br />

her preliminary race, however, she<br />

missed the final.<br />

A crash in the 10km road race<br />

meant she was unable to finish the<br />

race. •More sport, page 8<br />

CASHMERE TENNIS player<br />

Dave Meredith completed a clean<br />

sweep at the New Zealand Seniors<br />

<strong>2020</strong> National Championships<br />

last week.<br />

More impressively, the 71-yearold<br />

didn’t drop a set en route<br />

to winning the singles, men’s<br />

doubles and mixed doubles titles<br />

in the 70 and over grade at the<br />

tournament in Hamilton. Last<br />

year Meredith won the singles<br />

title and has previously won a<br />

singles and doubles title in the 65<br />

and over grade. However, this is<br />

the first time he has won all three<br />

titles at one event.<br />

“It doesn’t happen very often.<br />

Peter Hampton is a local<br />

Christchurch guy and he’s probably<br />

done it multiple times, but<br />

other than him it doesn’t happen<br />

very often,” said Meredith.<br />

Tennis isn’t the only sport Meredith<br />

has won national titles in.<br />

He is best known for his 35-year<br />

career in cue sports, which included<br />

four snooker and a record<br />

15 national billiards titles.<br />

In the singles, Meredith defeated<br />

fourth seed Erwin Notter<br />

6-2, 6-3 in the final. His toughest<br />

battle came in his opening round<br />

Grilled Chilean Beef Kebabs<br />

with Chimichurri Sauce and<br />

Coriander Rice<br />

Makes 8 kebabs<br />

Ingredients<br />

1kg beef – tenderloin, ribeye<br />

or sirloin, cut into 4cm cubes<br />

(or substitute 500g button<br />

mushrooms)<br />

2 Tbsp oil<br />

2 Tbsp lime juice, plus zest of one<br />

lime<br />

2 garlic cloves – finely minced<br />

1 tsp onion powder<br />

1 tsp dried oregano or thyme<br />

1 tsp cumin<br />

1½ tsp salt<br />

½ tsp pepper<br />

Skewer additions: cherry<br />

tomatoes, onion<br />

Chimichurri Sauce<br />

1 bunch coriander<br />

½ cup olive oil<br />

2 Tbsp lime juice<br />

1 jalapeno (use less, or more if<br />

you like)<br />

½ cup chopped onion<br />

1 garlic clove<br />

½ tsp smoked paprika<br />

½ tsp salt<br />

Coriander Rice<br />

2 cups water<br />

1 cup rice, rinsed<br />

pinch salt<br />

¼ cup coriander- chopped<br />

3 spring onions – chopped<br />

1 lime<br />

Garnish: lime wedges<br />

Directions<br />

Soak eight 25cm wooden skewers<br />

in warm water.<br />

Cut the beef into cubes and<br />

place in a zip lock bag or in a<br />

medium bowl.<br />

Mix oil, lime juice and zest,<br />

garlic, spices, salt and pepper in a<br />

small bowl. Pour over the beef and<br />

seal the bag, shaking and mixing<br />

so all the beef is coated. Set aside.<br />

Pre-heat a hotplate, BBQ or your<br />

favourite skillet if it’s large enough.<br />

In a medium pot, add water and<br />

rice, bring to a boil. Cover, simmer<br />

on low heat for 20min.<br />

In the meantime, make the<br />

chimichurri. Place all the ingredients<br />

in a food processor, and<br />

pulse repeatedly (10-15 times)<br />

until the coriander and onion are<br />

all minced well. It need not be<br />

smooth, but more like the consistency<br />

of pesto. Place in a small<br />

bowl. Set aside.<br />

Make the skewers alternating<br />

beef, cherry tomato, onion slice,<br />

then repeat until skewer is full.<br />

3-4 pieces of beef on each skewer.<br />

Grill the skewers over medium<br />

high heat, rotating until meat<br />

is nicely charred and cooked to<br />

desired done-ness.<br />

Place rice in a bowl, squeeze<br />

with lime, and scatter the<br />

coriander and green onions over<br />

the top. Serve immediately.<br />

HEALTH & AWARENESS<br />

SOUTHERN VIEW<br />

Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or<br />

could it be mainly my muscles?<br />

The team at Physical Sense in Sydenham sees clients with<br />

a range of symptoms but many of their middle-aged and<br />

senior clients visit complaining of pain in one of their joints.<br />

Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests<br />

that a major part of the pain could be due<br />

to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.<br />

“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason<br />

for the pain may be the muscles around<br />

the joint,” she explains. The images show<br />

how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back<br />

muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain<br />

are the red areas in the drawings), a knot<br />

in a muscle on the back of the shoulder<br />

blade can give a deep pain in the front of<br />

the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way<br />

near the groin can give an ache in the knee<br />

(especially at night in bed).<br />

Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year<br />

old client with severe arthritis who walked<br />

with a stick, told her, “I will end up in<br />

a wheelchair, I cannot put any weight<br />

through my right leg due to pain in my hip<br />

and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she<br />

was walking with her stick but without the<br />

severe pain,” says Ietje. “The arthritis was<br />

one of the factors that made her muscles<br />

spasm but the other was that older people<br />

move less and the flexed position the hip<br />

is in when we sit is particularly bad for<br />

the hip.” Ietje is happy with the fact that<br />

although the client was 89 and could have<br />

been “given up on” or told to live with the<br />

pain, she made a difference to her health<br />

and wellbeing.<br />

The same lack of movement can be the<br />

reason for your knee pain or your shoulder<br />

pain and the same few treatments could<br />

make a huge difference for you.<br />

At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques<br />

(massage and triggerpoint deactivation<br />

techniques) are used to release the muscles.<br />

The client also gets a home exercise<br />

program designed to mobilize and stretch<br />

the joint, strengthen the important core<br />

muscles and increase general strength and<br />

balance. They teach a movement sequence<br />

SHOULDER<br />

PAIN<br />

KNEE PAIN<br />

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)<br />

that stretches the joint in all directions<br />

whilst the client is able to lie safely on their<br />

bed, perfect for older or less mobile clients.<br />

In many cases having the muscles<br />

released and being taught how to maintain<br />

it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.<br />

If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,<br />

HIP PAIN<br />

some maintenance therapy may be<br />

necessary, but that is often more affordable<br />

and, for older patients, better tolerated<br />

than surgery. After only one treatment you<br />

should know that it will work for you. Call<br />

them before 15 <strong>February</strong> and save $50.00<br />

The secret is out!<br />

OPEN DAY Sunday 9th<br />

<strong>February</strong> 1pm – 3pm<br />

“It’s all about location. Geraldine has everything<br />

here for a wonderful, active lifestyle; we’re nestled<br />

in a fabulous microclimate with easy access to parks<br />

and river walks, and Geraldine township is a vibrant<br />

community with art galleries, boutique shopping and<br />

fantastic eateries, with a never-ending schedule of<br />

music festivals, fetes, exhibitions and shows.”<br />

If you’ve reached the point of wanting to simplify<br />

your life, McKenzie Lifestyle Village should be on<br />

your ‘must-see’ list.<br />

NOW OPEN - One bedroom assisted care suites.<br />

Offering independence with discrete help on hand.<br />

McKenzie Lifestyle Village also welcomes subsidised<br />

care providers, allowing you to remain independent.<br />

At the heart of the village is the Leisure Centre - a<br />

central point for entertainment and events, true<br />

resort style facilities. Too often people tell us they<br />

wish they’d made the decision to move here sooner,<br />

just do it while you’re still independent and you<br />

can enjoy everything that we have to offer. Whether<br />

you’re more inclined to enjoy the company of others,<br />

or prefer privacy and solitude - you’ll find your<br />

perfect lifestyle here.<br />

Could Geraldine be your place to call home?<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />

Heavenly hideaway!<br />

36a Heberden Avenue, Sumner<br />

Auction: Thursday, 13 <strong>February</strong> <strong>2020</strong> (Unless Sold Prior)<br />

3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 2 car-garage<br />

2 off-street carparks | Listing Number SM0300<br />

Tucked away and private from the<br />

road, this fabulous character home will<br />

both delight and surprise.<br />

Beautifully presented and renovated<br />

the home is ready and waiting for a lucky<br />

new owner.<br />

Gorgeous freshly polished timber<br />

floors throughout the living and dining<br />

add a sense of warmth and with all day<br />

sun the home is instantly inviting.<br />

Both living spaces open to private<br />

sheltered decks capturing both the<br />

morning and late sun and providing an<br />

idyllic spot for entertaining or simply<br />

relaxing with a good book.<br />

While modernised throughout, the<br />

home retains the charm of the 1950’s era<br />

with the wooden windows all double<br />

glazed and there is current log burner<br />

and floor mounted heat pump.<br />

Outside is a gardener’s dream, easy<br />

care but with established fruit and citrus<br />

trees and raised vegetable plots and a<br />

good sized garden shed. There is also<br />

the added bonus of two garages with<br />

automatic garage doors, one complete<br />

with a new bathroom and separate<br />

entrance. Great off street parking<br />

provided through an automatic gate.<br />

Properties of this quality are highly<br />

sought in Sumner and this home enjoys<br />

the enviable late sun, dual entry and<br />

privacy, making it the ideal spot to call<br />

home.<br />

My motivated owners have loved their<br />

many years here but a new adventure<br />

awaits, so the home will be sold. Act<br />

now!<br />

Open Homes Wednesday, Saturday<br />

and Sunday 11:00am - 11:45am.<br />
