Scale, substance and scope to improve

Big on accommodation, ready for transformation. With seven bedrooms, solid 1970s brick and concrete block construction and an 809sqm (more or less) landholding, 97 Rata Street presents a compelling opportunity for investors and buyers with a clear vision.

Set back from the road and currently tenanted, the home offers substantial accommodation across two levels. Upstairs, three bedrooms each feature built-in double wardrobes, supported by a bathroom, separate toilet and a hallway gas heater. Four further bedrooms and a second bathroom occupy the lower level, with an ensuite adjoining one of the downstairs bedrooms bringing the total to three bathrooms.

The open-plan dining and living area sits on the upper level, providing a central gathering space with a fireplace and an additional gas heater. A gas Infinity system supplies hot water.

The generous section offers plenty of scope to revitalise the grounds, with established plum, lemon, pear, apple and feijoa trees at the rear. A single carport and ample off-street parking complement the property’s practical appeal.

Just 1.1km from Inglewood’s town centre and everyday amenities, the location also offers access to local recreation, including the swimming pool on Rata Street. Lake Mangamahoe’s walking and mountain biking tracks and the outdoor pursuits of Te Papakura o Taranaki add wider lifestyle appeal, while New Plymouth remains within easy commuting distance.

Refurbishment is required, but the ingredients are compelling: substantial accommodation, solid construction and land to work with. Bring a clear vision and put the potential to work.
