Welcome to Lavender Cottage – Circa 1910

Some homes simply have a feeling about them.
Welcome to Lavender Cottage – a delightful character home that feels as though it has been gently lifted from a leafy Ponsonby street and lovingly placed here in the heart of the Kaipara.

Cute as a button, neat as a pin, and renovated with timeless elegance, this beautiful circa-1910 bungalow villa is light-filled, welcoming, and rich in character. Thoughtfully modernised while preserving many of its original features, it offers the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern convenience.
Whether you’re searching for a gorgeous first home, a stylish retirement downsizer, or simply a very special place to call your own, Lavender Cottage is likely to steal your heart.

Positioned within easy walking distance of the town centre, supermarket, takeaways – the location is wonderfully convenient with the hospital and other local amenities all close by. As an added bonus, the rear garden enjoys peeping views of the Northern Wairoa River.

Inside, the home offers:
• Two generously-sized character-filled bedrooms
• A versatile third room suitable as a study, occasional bedroom, hobby room, or work-from-home business space, complete with the option of a separate rear entrance
• A beautifully renovated open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area that creates a warm and connected hub of the home

The kitchen is particularly special, featuring beautifully oiled original kauri flooring, a handcrafted macrocarpa benchtop and upstand created by Altered Estate, classic white cabinetry, aged brass hardware and elegant wall lighting, plus quality Bosch appliances including oven, ceramic hob and rangehood. The result is a relaxed French-country aesthetic that feels both elegant and inviting.

The compact upgraded bathroom continues the home’s tasteful styling, with a wood shaker vanity, satin-finish tapware, and a generously sized shower.

Extensive improvements completed over recent years include:
• Foundations re-levelled
• New roof
• Updated wiring
• Updated plumbing
• New insulation
• New interior gibbing throughout
• Fresh interior and exterior paintwork

Outside, the property continues to impress with:
• A separate freestanding laundry/studio shed offering flexibility for future use
• A separate single garage
• Easy-care grounds that allow more time for living and less time for maintenance

Families will appreciate being only approximately 1km from three local primary schools, the Intermediate School and Dargaville High School, while commuters can reach Whangārei in around 45 minutes, and Auckland’s North Shore in only around two hours away.

Lavender Cottage is one of those increasingly rare homes that combines character, warmth, practicality and style in equal measure.
Come and experience for yourself why this charming little piece of “Ponsonby in Dargaville” may just be the home you’ve been waiting for.

Homes like this don’t come along often. Lavender Cottage is not just a house – it’s a feeling.
