Steeped in history and offering immense appeal, The Manse is a property like no other. Originally built as the Manse for The Presbyterian Church and now a lovingly restored family home, the property still maintains many original features, a lot of which are rarely found today. As you walk through the old iron gate and through the cottage garden you will be met by the imposing façade.
The deep verandahs, impressive sandstock bricks and the unique cast iron columns on the windows are just the first impressions of the character and charm that lie beyond the solid front door.
Inside, the home features wide Kauri Pine floorboards with original markings of the black japan around the rugs, soaring high ceilings, 3 marble fireplaces and a warm and welcoming country kitchen, still in its original position. Constructed in double sandstock brick with cavity walls, the sheer scale and grandeur of the home need to be experienced to be fully appreciated.
Positioned in a quiet street with a peaceful outlook over the recently refurbished Alexandra Square, the location is ideal whilst still being conveniently located to shops, cafes and schools, as well as being an easy walk to Lake Alexandra.
