Grand victorian heritage residence: Lennel

Step into history with Lennel, a majestic Victorian residence nestled in the heart of Invercargill's historic Gladstone suburb. Named after the ancient Coldstream in Scotland, Lennel was meticulously crafted by renowned surveyor John Turnbull Thomson between 1880-1882, evoking the essence of his Northumbrian childhood home in Glororum.

With its imposing stature and rich heritage, Lennel offers a glimpse into a bygone era while presenting a myriad of opportunities for the discerning buyer. Boasting 8 spacious bedrooms, expansive living areas, and historic charm at every turn, this sprawling estate spans across approximately 3 acres, where natural beauty reigns supreme, with Thomson's own cherished bushland providing a picturesque backdrop.

Beyond its architectural grandeur, Lennel holds a profound significance in Invercargill's history, reflecting Thomson's pioneering spirit and lasting contributions to New Zealand's surveying legacy. As New Zealand's first Surveyor-General and a key figure in the development of Otago and Southland, Thomson's influence reverberates through the very fabric of this storied residence.

Perfectly poised for transformation, Lennel presents an unparalleled opportunity to reimagine this iconic property into a new venture unlike any other. Alternatively, it stands ready to reclaim its status as a grand family home, offering luxurious accommodation and a setting for unforgettable gatherings. With the right consents, the possibilities are endless, offering a rare chance to create a lasting legacy for generations to come.
