Perched at the top of the hill between Ōhope Beach and Whakatāne CBD, The Cottage at 10 Appenzell Drive is the kind of home that instantly evokes a sense of warmth, comfort and nostalgia.

Lovingly cared for by the same owner for more than 45 years, this charming property offers a rare opportunity to secure a home that has been cherished across generations.

Set on an almost 600sqm level section, the solid 1980s home is surrounded by beautifully established cottage-style gardens that create a peaceful and private sanctuary.

Mature shrubs, flowering plants and carefully tended greenery attract birdlife, giving the property a tranquil atmosphere that feels worlds away from the bustle of town, despite its exceptionally convenient location.

Inside, the home offers generous proportions and a welcoming sense of space. The large lounge is the heart of the home, enhanced by a striking raked ceiling that adds character and light. From here, the living area flows seamlessly into a
wrap-around conservatory.

A cosy retreat, the conservatory captures the warmth of the afternoon sun and provides the perfect vantage point to enjoy the garden outlook and spectacular evening sunsets.

The kitchen and dining spaces are semi open-plan, creating connection while
maintaining defined areas for everyday
living and entertaining.

A woodburner and heat pump ensure
year-round comfort, while mostly double glazed throughout the home provides
additional warmth and efficiency.

Accommodation includes three well-sized bedrooms, comprising two doubles and a single room. The master bedroom enjoys a lovely outlook over the gardens, while
another bedroom opens directly to the sunny and private rear garden.

The spacious family bathroom features both a bath and a separate shower, complemented by a separate toilet and a large laundry with outdoor access.

While beautifully maintained and perfectly functional as it stands, the home also presents exciting opportunities for buyers to
modernise or refresh over time. Many of its original features remain intact, adding charm and character that hark back to an earlier era.

Outside, the rear garden provides another peaceful haven, complete with a quiet sitting area ideal for relaxing in the sun or enjoying a morning coffee surrounded by greenery. Internal access garaging and additional workshop or storage space enhance the home’s appeal.

With schools, the Appenzell dairy and bakery all nearby, and both Ōhope Beach and Whakatāne CBD less than five minutes away, The Cottage offers an enviable lifestyle in a desirable location.
