Tararu villa passionately restored
This villa renovation project was a real beauty. It's a classic Kiwi weatherboard villa built in 1880 and although it has been added to over the decades the original building is still intact.
Notably, this house also boasts the first bay window to be installed in Thames.
We also renovated the interior – lots of huge solid Kauri doors and big fancy fireplaces included.
The owner grew up in this house so obviously has an emotional attachment to the place so it was great to work for someone who was as passionate about the restoration as we were.

Villa lounge interior: Before and after
The front door was stripped back including the old door handle and restored with love. Looks brand new and it's 140 years old!
This is the 140 year old bay window, before and after in "Resene Chalkdust".
A few more pictures... I hope you like the pictures. My team and very much enjoyed this villa restoration. Graham Willers Thames House Painting Services
