First Glance

  • Inside this fully restored 19th-century house you’ll find hardwood floors, elegant decor, a handful of original furnishings and modern fittings; warm yet neutral hues accentuate the dazzling blues and greens of the surrounding landscape.
  • The large honey-hued kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances and kitchenware and has views out to the lawns and Annandale’s kitchen gardens; there’s ample counter space, including a central island and a long farmhouse table for cosy breakfasts (the provisions for which are included too). And adjoining Butler’s pantry links to the bunk room via a hidden staircase.
  • The warm and spacious living room has cushy armchair seating, a fireplace and direct access to a sun porch at the side of the villa.
  • In the library, curl up in front of the fire or enjoy the garden and bay views through the French doors; there’s an inviting L-shaped sofa and a table that’s poised and ready for card games.
  • The elegant dining room has original kauri-wood furniture and a table that seats up to 12 guests.
