Defined by craftsmanship, proportion and presence, Woodcoft is an architecturally significant 1921 residence, reinterpreted in 2022 for modern family life.
Woodcoft is a rare Havelock North residence of genuine architectural significance - originally designed in 1921 by James Walter Chapman-Taylor, and more recently reimagined by Designgroup Stapleton Elliott (2022) to meet the expectations of modern living.
The transformation is both respectful and intelligent - heritage character has been retained, while the home’s light, flow and connection to the outdoors have been elevated. Living areas are designed to bring the outside in, opening to a beautifully landscaped garden that feels like a natural extension of the home - private, established, and perfectly suited to relaxed entertaining.
Importantly, the appeal isn’t only cosmetic. Major renovations and behind-the-scenes upgrades were completed between 2023–2025, including roof replacement, renewed plumbing, and new electrical throughout the house, apartment, garage and grounds - delivering genuine peace of mind alongside timeless charm.
A heated pool and cabana sit within the established grounds, while a self-contained apartment adds flexibility for guests, extended family, or work-from-home. Practical modern infrastructure (including EV charging) underpins the home’s comfort and longevity - an exceptional offering in one of Havelock North’s most sought-after settings.
