24 Arrow Street, Wakefield, Tasman, Nelson / Tasman, 7025, New Zealand

The historical “workers cottage” is a noted property from Wakefields settler days. Once an entertainment hall pre 1890 and now the perfect place to embrace the cosy village lifestyle that Wakefield is all about. 24 Arrow Street offers a freehold corner section, great workshop/garage space and good off-street parking, plus a sleepout or work from home office to go with our delightful character cottage. The workshop building at the rear of the section includes an insulated room with its own heatpump, currently used as an office and studio, but it could be used as your second bedroom? The cottage has benefited from many upgrades over its time, whilst retaining the gorgeous character and recognisable outline of New Zealand’s first dwellings. Improvements include recent roof, ceiling insulation, a newly rewired powerboard, and gas hot water, along with a dishwasher and rangehood in the kitchen/dining room. It is heated by an inbuilt fire and heatpump. Beautiful period features still intact are the timber floors and original sash windows. The section offers more than you would expect as there is a storage shed, a plum tree, citrus, fejoias, plus room for a vege garden.

Wakefield village is one of the areas first developed by the European settlers in New Zealand, with early pakeha history all through the area. The primary school is the oldest in NZ, and the church on the hill, the second oldest in NZ! The village is a special community with a cafe, a supermarket, pre schools and a primary school, a selection of other shops, plus a Medical centre.
