Amazing Large Hand-Built Dolls House
This would be a wonderful Xmas present!
Hand-built dolls house – this came from a craft-fair type shop in Porirua about 20 years ago.
The furniture is selling with the house – including two good-quality 1/12-scale doll figures.
While there is still some dust to clean off, the house is generally in good condition.
This is a unique work of art! Very unusual to see one like this for sale!
Dimensions: 850mm wide, 440mm deep and 940mm high (including the chimney).
It is mounted on a fixed base, which measures 850mm wide by 670mm deep – this includes the paving in front of the house. Very solidly built, and therefore, rather heavy!
There is a hatch in the back of the roof, giving access to the attic hide-away.
Inspection welcome – pickup is from our house in Tawa.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
