Whittome House (Former)

List No. 4535Built 1924–2007Listed 2010

Whittome House (Former) is an Arts and Crafts residence designed by the noted Auckland architectural practice of Grierson, Aimer and Draffin. Constructed in 1924-5 on the lower slopes of One Tree Hill (Maungakiekie) in Epsom, the brick and tile dwelling was erected for condiments manufacturer Frank Whittome and reflects the growing prosperity of local early twentieth-century industrialists and the appeal of English-influenced design in sectors of New Zealand society…

We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

Zoning and hazards

What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.

Contaminated land

Councils keep registers of land used for activities on the Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) — service stations, timber treatment, orchards, landfills. A listing records how land was used, not that it is contaminated: most sites have never been tested.

Auckland Council does not publish its contaminated sites records. A site contamination enquiry (a fee applies) or the LIM will say what it holds.

Ask Auckland Council

What could you build here?

See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
