Chelsea House is an extraordinary double-bay villa with presence, pedigree and a story woven through Whangārei’s past. Ornate fretwork, a deep veranda and beautifully preserved period detailing set the tone for a home that has welcomed generations through its doors.

The property has previously served as tea rooms and has a long association with guest accommodation. Today, it is the award-winning Chelsea House Bed & Breakfast - an established name with strong branding, an impressive online presence and an exceptional 9.8 guest rating on Booking.com.

Importantly, this is not a property that must remain a business. At heart, it is a beautiful and substantial five-bedroom home, offering all the space, warmth and flexibility required for family living.

Meticulously maintained, recently reroofed and freshly painted, the villa is presented in outstanding condition. A wide central hallway, polished timber floors, elegant archways and soaring ceilings create an immediate sense of grandeur, while the original detailing reflects the craftsmanship of its era.

Five bedrooms and three bathrooms provide considerable versatility. The Hatea Suite incorporates a bedroom, ensuite and kitchenette, while the Parihaka Guest Room offers its own bedroom and ensuite. These private spaces are ideally suited to paying guests, extended family, independent teenagers or visiting friends.

Two generous living areas include a beautiful formal lounge - a room of genuine presence that invites long evenings, good conversation and the occasional excuse to dress for dinner. The second living area combines with a spacious kitchen and dining area to provide a warm and welcoming social heart.

Outside, established gardens and traditional brick pathways frame the villa beautifully. Fruit trees and productive vegetable beds will appeal to keen gardeners, with plenty already established to enjoy. A generous garage and extensive off-street parking further support both family living and accommodation use.

Whether continued as the highly regarded Chelsea House, reimagined as an elegant home and income, or simply enjoyed as an exceptional private residence, this is a property of rare flexibility.

Positioned in popular Regent, just minutes from the CBD and the natural beauty of Mair Park, Chelsea House offers the opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Whangārei’s history - and decide what comes next.
