The villa was built in 1906 and originally located in the Christchurch suburb of Sumner.

The couple were keen to highlight the home's original features.

The ensuite and bath are a particular highlight.

The villa is toasty warm in the winter.

The kitchen space is stylishly decorated in neutrals with dark colour accents.

The house has a 301m² floor plan.

A surprise under the kitchen - the wine cellar.

The home is surrounded by vines.
