‘Not just a property, but a piece of Palmerston North’s history’

The 4791m² estate is a leafy oasis in the city.

Kaingahou has an Historic Place Category 2 heritage listing. The turret portico is a defining feature of the home.

The return veranda was a feature of many larger villas at the turn of the last century

A beautiful stained glass doorway and wide hall ensure the entry is in keeping with the grandeur of the architecture.

This is the front room - the sash windows can be opened to access the veranda.

The second living area is a much larger space well suited to entertaining on a grand scale.

The kitchen work spaces wrap around the sides of the large room. The door at right opens to a walled courtyard leading to the converted stables.

The original cooking range remains in place in the kitchen.

Bedrooms were built large back in the day, the effect heightened by the high stud.

Sunlight streams into this front bedroom in the afternoons.

Original tongue-and-groove wall panelling remains in this bathroom.
