Belmont Terrace

Heritage Cottage Restoration

This tiny original railway cottage was first constructed in 1890 from native kauri timber. Being a protected heritage home this project required a delicate touch to add more living space and modern comforts without compromising its classic charm.

With limited access to the rear of the property down narrow access routes a large extension was built with stunning coloured concrete floors, a swimming pool was craned in over the house and tidy, low maintenance landscaping was completed.

Inside this beautiful old home was fully restored with new tiled bathrooms and the original kauri timber floors restored and polished. Careful carpentry restored the original double hung sash windows so that the over 130 year old joinery worked like new.

Looking from the street front the house is unchanged from its original classic cottage appearance, Inside however you will be surprised to find a spacious family home with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and large open plan living areas that open to an inviting outdoor entertaining area and pool.
