16 Bridge Street, Tuatapere, Southland, 9620, New Zealand

If it is sheer size, character, and history that provokes your interest then this property may well be for you! In what I would consider to be of need in mainly exterior work, I say don’t judge a book by it’s cover, as this tired beauty has good solid bones and if resurrected back to her former glory she could be the talk of the town. Originally Tuatapere’s maternity home, then later the doctors surgery/residence this property has a cherished history like no other. It still retains stunning timber floors, high ceilings and for the past few years has provided a family many happy memories. The rear part of the home which also has access to the large back section consists of 4 bedrooms, a cosy sunny living room, separate kitchen, bathroom and workshop/potential extra bedroom. The front of the home although in need of some upgrading and renovations has another kitchen, and rooms of which could ultimately be reclaimed again as extra bedrooms. Hence this could be the perfect property for someone looking for a doer upper type project, or someone with a large family. Keep in mind also that due to a high demand of folk requiring accommodation, whether it be full time, or B and B type accommodation, when fixed up, renovated and with correct council consent this property could potentially become a good income earner as a 6 to 7 bedroom property with 2 kitchens.
