Kirwee House - steeped in History
A chance to purchase an acclaimed piece of Canterbury History now beckons. Kirwee House, originally Built by Colonel Brett in 1865 has been occupied by the same family for decades and now the time has come to pass the torch of ownership of its stunning history.
Built at a time where the colonial ships were bringing the pioneers from the UK and Ireland to Canterbury, this home which originally consisted of 3 separate buildings now carefully bridged to present a home with 6 plus bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and an abundance of style and grace and even harbours the original wooden flooring of the ships themselves.
The style of the homestead with its crown shaped windows reflects the Asian Influence of Colonial battles of Colonel Brett and whom named the township of Kirwee (Karwi) which reflected one such battle in India. It is understood the landscaping of the property reflects the positions of troops in one such battle.
The Homestead is complimented by a recently built 2 bedroom minor dwelling which sits proudly beside its own duck pond and boldly brings in panoramic views of Banks Peninsular. A perfect scenario for extended family.
