This quaint, two bedroom, character 75 square metre french cottage is beautifully appointed in a classic contemporary white on white colour scheme. Having undergone a recent major renovation, the 19 year old cottage is now striking with its italian ceramic tiles (complete with underfloor heating) and mottled white stone bench tops. A mix of classic french and contemporary fixtures and fittings complete the transformation. The upstairs bathroom was fitted out with glass vanity and hand basin to give the illusion of space and a glass shower door replaced the tired old shower curtain. White blinds upstairs and delicate white flowing drapes downstairs give a sense of both character and lightness. Outside, private courtyards back and front have been created with the use of green foliage plants, lavender bushes and winding pebble pathways. Ideally positioned in Manly, Whangaparaoa, between two beaches, the cottage is just 400m walk to Little Manly Beach and 500m walk to Big Manly Beach. The Manly Village shops are just around the corner – a 150m stroll to local restaurants (choice of 6), delicatessen, bakery, butcher, pharmacy, fruit & vegetable store, etc. Featured in the October 2009 issue of NZ House & Garden magazine
