Updating a 115-year-old heritage building is a bit different to most of Dave McCrea and the team’s work – but their attention to detail and vast experience made for a great result.
The home, a stunning brick villa classed as a Heritage B building, was originally built as part of the Crums Estate in Ashburton, in 1905. As you might expect, it needed extensive renovations to bring it up to modern standards and make it useable again.
Dave and the team replaced all the internal guttering and roofing and renewed the gables, eaves, fascia, and facades. All the roofing materials and other details were chosen carefully to match the original design, so the building retained its distinctive heritage look. After a long, delicate renovation, the house is restored to its former glory – and ready to continue as a family home.
