If you love character or simply seek a home with a difference, this 1923 Whatman Cottage ticks the box.
Part of an iconic slice of Masterton's westside history, it's one of 11 cottages constructed for WW1 returned soldiers. From an era of solidly built houses, the homes are highly regarded for their unique, resilient architectural design. Beautiful timber and brick work feature.
Teenagers will love the sense of independence two attic bedrooms provide. You may enjoy them as home office/hobby space, away from distractions.
Warmed by a wood burner with the option to use the heat pump, the home offers combined living spaces and dining. Step through to the adjoining kitchen and out to the private, sunny deck and yard. The 1070m2 (more or less) section offers scope for gardeners, space for pets and children to play, a single garage and rustic shed.
Relax at the end of the day with a soak in the gorgeous tub, a salute to yesteryear.
Situated in a super convenient location. Walk to the dairy, the train or Upper Plain Shops. Schools and Mitre 10 are nearby. Quick access to the bypass road for commuters driving north or south.
After nearly 40 years the current owner is down sizing from her family home. Contact Yvonne Craig-Simpson to view: 027 235 9755 or yvonne.craig-simpson@raywhite.com

Building consents
We hold no building consents for this property yet. The council may hold records we have not seen.
If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
Zoning and hazards
What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.
Reading the council's maps…
What could you build here?
See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
