Lauded as one of Arts and Craft's architect James Walter Chapman-Taylor's finest homes, 'Woodcroft', commissioned in 1921 for the Davidson family, sits magnificently positioned on a knoll that affords both privacy and exceptional views.
With its high-pitched newly tiled roof, the two-storey home, designed in a traditional English style, has just undergone a three-year refurbishment and no stone has been left unturned to prepare 'Woodcroft' for many generations to come.
Careful consideration has been given to retain its beautiful, adzed woodwork and inbuilt furniture. The attention to positioning of the home for sun, light, and protection from wind, the quality of materials used, workmanship, and detail are apparent throughout.
On the ground floor, the living areas flow seamlessly to a beautifully designed and well-thought-out kitchen with a scullery. This area becomes the hub of the home which now captures a delightful vista towards the inground pool and covered deck area which enjoy views to Napier and Mahia coastlines. On the western side of the house, the enclosed sun porch leads to the covered outdoor dining area which provides the perfect evening entertaining space.
The interior fit-out has been carefully curated and includes stone tiles in the kitchen area, wool carpets, and beautiful soft furnishings and interiors, all seamlessly integrated with the ground floor living spaces. A multitude of living areas and nooks all work cohesively together to create spaces for living and entertaining but also areas to enjoy the tranquillity and peacefulness of this masterful home.
Additional features further elevate 'Woodcroft's' charm and functionality. A fully restored inglenook in the main lounge offers a cozy focal point during cooler months. The thoughtful addition of bespoke lighting highlights the home's intricate woodwork and enhances the ambiance after dusk.
The master suite on the first floor offers a beautifully designed en-suite with ample wardrobes for storage, while three additional bedrooms share a tastefully appointed bathroom. For those requiring accommodation for guests or extended family, the recent completion of a separate one bedroom studio with bathroom and cosy living space is stylish and spacious and will have great appeal.
The landscaped gardens have been designed with seasonal colour and native plantings, ensuring visual interest throughout the year. Stone pathways wind gently through the grounds, leading to hidden seating areas perfect for quiet reflection or morning coffee.
In a highly sought-after location and within walking distance to excellent Havelock North schools, it will be an exceptional privilege for the new custodian of this much-admired property to treasure a wonderful example of New Zealand architectural history.
For those seeking a home that seamlessly blends timeless design with modern comfort, 'Woodcroft' offers a rare opportunity to embrace a lifestyle of elegance and privacy, in one of Hawke's Bay's most desirable locations.
