Harcourts Gold salesperson Cameron Bailey said not only is the property at 8 Wood Lane, in Fendalton, the city’s best house, but it is also on the best site and best street. The city’s house price record currently stands at $8 million, for a property on Wairarapa Tce, in Merivale, which sold in 2021. But the character-inspired fivebedroom, five-bathroom home at Wood Lane has the city’s secondhighest RV at $8.34m and could break the $10m mark. The owners, Bill and Mrrietta Horncastle, built the Wood Lane property 12 years ago after being drawn Cameron to the 3338sqm park-like gardens surrounded Bailey by a river boundary, just 200 metres from Hagley Park. The couple told Stuff in 2016 the established gardens and river CHIC: The Fendalton property’s decor was inspired by family trips to France. gave it a country feel in the heart of the city. The original house, built for English settler and the street’s namesake William Derisley Wood, had undergone multiple extensions over the years and the couple decided to build a new home in its place. But the discovery of two rooms dating back to the original 1890s home provided inspiration for their new home, which was rebuilt around them. The home was designed with the help of architect Tim Devine and includes period features such as high studs, skirting boards, architraves, cornices and doors. “It’s essentially a modern home you are buying. It’s got all the creature comforts of a modern home – it’s wonderful,” said Bailey. He said the home would attract people who wanted privacy and aspect on a north-facing site. When asked if it could break the city’s price record, he said “undoubtedly”. “You feel like you’re in your own botanical gardens. It’s a big home so it would suit a family, but I could also see a retired couple in there just enjoying the land, the garden and the aspect. I just think it’s such a unique property that if you can afford it, why wouldn’t you buy it?” It also has a pool, tennis court and pizza oven. – NZ Herald CELEBRATING 25 YEARS LABOUR WEEKEND SALES 9AM – 6PM, 21-23 OCTOBER Keeping you in style since ’98 ENJOY EXTENDED TRADING HOURS 409 Main South Rd, Hornby dress-smart.co.nz SEE WWW.DRESS-SMART.CO.NZ FOR AMAZING STORE OFFERS!
