Cytringan House is an exceptional heritage villa that has evolved across generations, lovingly preserved with care, character and craft. There is something rather special about a house with a name. Cytringan House is an old name associated with Kettering in Northamptonshire, England, giving this Onehunga home an intriguing connection to the heritage and traditions of Britain’s past.
Built around 1910, the house has stood for more than a century, with its story continuing through each generation that has cared for it. Originally a single storey home, it was thoughtfully renovated and extended by a previous owner to create a substantial two storey residence. The upstairs component incorporates the original villa, allowing the home’s history to sit beautifully alongside its later additions, past and present, perfectly in step.
Details matter here. From the French tessellated entrance tiles, featuring significant encaustic style centrepieces, to the hand crafted leadlight entrance door, every element speaks to provenance, individuality and craftsmanship. The property also features laminated glazed windows designed to be difficult to break while providing sound reduction and thermal performance. It is an uncommon blend of comfort, security and tranquillity.
This home is refined comfort with distinctive features, including a magnificent Portuguese claw foot bath upstairs and elegant, heritage appropriate bathrooms that contribute to the home’s sense of occasion. There is also a decommissioned service lift or dumbwaiter. There are four large bedrooms and multiple living spaces, the layout supports both everyday family life and entertaining. Outside, beautifully kept gardens have their own practical foundations, including a raised garden bed for growing and an outdoor garden shed for convenient storage, an ideal balance of charm and functionality.
Behind electric gates parking is generous and effortless, with a double internal access garage and workshop accommodating up to three cars, with potential for a fourth. Offering privacy and security the driveway can comfortably accommodate multiple vehicles, ideal for visiting family or effortless hosting.
Now, Cytringan House is ready for its next chapter. The current owners have developed further renovation plans designed to sensitively modernise the property, balancing heritage integrity with contemporary family living. Those plans are available for interested purchasers to view.
Cytringan House offers something increasingly rare, the opportunity to become part of a home’s history and to help write the next chapter.
