173 Main Road, Clive

If you are looking for an affordable home to which you can add value, here it is. Clive is a great little coastal town, just an easy ten minute drive from both Napier and Hastings - and this rustic character cottage is centrally located in the middle of it all, just a short stroll from the village. This property was built to last. It is over 100 years old and has survived nature's challenges over this time; a true testament to the materials and quality craftsmanship of the era! There are attractive options for both investors and developers alike - with some tweaking and work there would be a great opportunity to utilise as a rental property or as an Air BnB to provide an income stream, or simply make a few changes to create your own bijou home retreat. Original native timber floors and high ceilings welcome you into this quaint cottage. The simple floorplan consists of two bedrooms, a cosy living room and an open-plan dining area and basic kitchen; a good blank canvas if you will - with access through to the sunroom. There are two feature fireplaces, one with a detailed wooden mantel and surround, the other a delightful ornate Victorian style fireplace - complete with original tilework. The compact, rudimentary bathroom comprises a shower and vanity, and there is a separate toilet located off the sunroom, alongside the separate laundry. You have adequate off-street parking and even space out the back for the boat / campervan or other toys. The public transport route is just outside, with a great coffee spot right across the road and an abundance of local amenities all nearby. It is just a short wander along to the Clive village where you can enjoy cafes, restaurants and local produce stores. Perhaps take in the action of various water sports on the river or join the network of walking and cycle trails - they are almost on your doorstep! If you are looking for a project that you can make your mark on, you must view this property. ...
