Strowan property
sells for $4m,
breaking
records
NEW HIGH: A Halton St home has sold for $4 million – a new record for Strowan, and the highest price paid for a property at auction in Christchurch
this year.
A HALTON ST home has sold
for $4 million, the highest price
ever for a property in Strowan.
It is also the most expensive
property to sell at auction in
Christchurch this year.
The five-bedroom, twobathroom
home was bought by a
Canterbury family, who had been
looking for a year for their next
home, OneRoof reported.
They fought off four other
local buyers in Harcourts
Gold’s auction room on
Thursday, including two
who actively bid on it.
A vendor bid of $2.5
million opened the
auction, which went up in
mainly $25,000 to $50,000
increments.
Harcourts Gold
Mark
Morrison
auctioneer Mark Morrison
said once the home was
announced on the market
at $3.8m, just two buyers
battled it out.
The sale price exceeded
the vendors’ expectations
by $200,000.
“The bids were relatively
large and strong,”
Morrison told OneRoof.
The $4m sale price topped
Strowan’s previous record price
of $3.76 million, paid at auction
last November for a 1920s home
on Normans Rd.
Morrison told OneRoof the
Halton St house was a standout.
“It’s the sort of home that pops
up on the market and buyers go,
‘Jeez, we’ve got to secure this’.
That sort of home you jump on.”
Harcourts Holmwood agent
Kathryn Picton-Warlow had been
working with the buyers for 12
months, searching for the ideal
family home.
The buyers were moving
from the country into the city
and were looking for a home
with space, which Halton St
offered.

Cameron and the team at Harcourts were wonderful to deal with from
start to finish in the sale of our house.
Outstanding communication and engagement. The plan was laid out
at the start, agreed upon and delivered. They work at a fast pace, which
we liked, and they kept us informed through the whole process.
We sold our house and got a good price, so the proof is in the
pudding. We would have no issue recommending Cameron as a topquality

Furry models
wanted for
fundraising
calendar
• By Shelley Topp
THE SPCA is calling on dog
and cat lovers to enter
their animals in the
organisation’s Pets of the Year
2025 calendar competition.
This year New Zealand’s
largest animal charity has
two calendar categories, cat
and dog, said the SPCA’s chief
executive Todd Westwood.
‘‘This is a chance to put
your pet photography skills to
use, and capture your furry
friend’s fabulous side. Or maybe
you have a gem already on your
camera,’’ Westwood said.
‘‘While the top 12 fundraisers
will be our monthly stars,
any pet profile which raises more
than $150 will be guaranteed a
spot inside the calendar.’’
Every dollar raised as part of
the Pets of the Year competition
goes directly into funding the
SPCA’s work.
‘‘As your pet’s photo generates
donations, sick, injured and
vulnerable animals around New
Zealand will get the help they
need because of it,’’ he said.

Boys’ High aim to capitalise on form
while St Bede’s strive for home win
• By Sam Coughlan
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High
School will look to keep their
good form rolling against St
Bede’s on Saturday.
Boys’ High have piled on the
points in their last two games,
beating Selwyn Combined 62-0
and Timaru Boys’ 61-0 in the
Miles Toyota Premiership.
They sit third on the ladder,
one point behind St Thomas
and five behind leader Nelson
College.
Head coach Rhys Archibald
said their form wasn’t down to
any magic formula – they’ve
just been at their best after an
opening-round loss to Nelson.
“To be honest, the last four
games we’ve played, I just think
that we’ve probably proven to be
the better team,” he said.
“Like (Selwyn) on Saturday,
they’ve got some fine players out
there, but we’ve just got a little
bit more to work with than what
they have.”
St Bede’s head coach Kurt
Paterson agreed his side have
their work cut out for them, but
believes they can spring an upset.
“We’ll have to play well, but we
are playing well.”
St Bede’s are sixth on the

ladder, seven points off the top
four.
Paterson said they’d picked up
a lot of confidence from their 44-
19 dismantling of Timaru Boys’
High on Saturday.
“I think that confidence . . . is
going to help us.
“Being at home, in front
of our school is big, I’m sure
we’ll draw a crowd. Hopefully
that confidence will translate
to another pretty good
performance on Saturday,”
Paterson said.
The other matches see Selwyn
host Shirley Boys’ at Foster Park

Andrew’s host Marlborough
and St Thomas host Timaru

Hot broth and warming honey apples
Nigel Slater helps
warm our days with
a broth of leeks and
lentils, followed by
baked apples with
honey and raisins
A soup of leeks and lentils
A light main course, substantial
enough for lunch and, if you
include the stems of rainbow
chard, rather more cheerful than
the usual lentil soup. A large pot
will last a day or two, but avoid
letting it boil for more than a
minute or two, so the greens still
taste fresh and lively. The miso
may seem an unusual addition for
lentil soup, but it introduces the
sort of savoury depth a soup needs
on a cold winter’s day.
Ingredients
Serves 4
600g leeks
30g butter
250g carrots
2 stalks celery
75g small lentils, green or brown
1 litre vegetable stock
1 heaped Tbsp light miso paste
150g leaves of spring greens,
cabbage, chard
1 small lemon
Method
• Cook the lentils in boiling,
lightly salted water for about 15
minutes, until tender but not soft.
Drain and set aside.
• Trim the leeks, discarding the
roots and the tough tips of the
leaves. Slice the leeks into rings
about as thick as a pencil, then
pile into a colander and wash very
thoroughly in cold water.
• In a large saucepan, melt
the butter, stir in the leeks and
cover the surface with a piece
of greaseproof paper or baking
parchment. This will help the
leeks to cook in their own steam
without browning. Cover with a
lid and leave to simmer.
• Peel and finely dice the
carrots and add to the leeks, then
finely dice and stir in the celery.
Continue cooking for about 10
minutes, until the vegetables are
tender.
• Stir in the vegetable stock
and the miso paste and continue
cooking for about 10 minutes.
• Wash the greens, roll them
up and shred into ribbons. I like
to keep them quite wide, like
pappardelle. Stir them into the
soup and continue cooking for 3
or 4 minutes until the greens have
relaxed. Finely grate the lemon
and stir into the leek soup and
check the seasoning, adding salt
and black pepper. Ladle the leek
soup into deep bowls, the lentils
scattered over the surface.
Baked apples with raisins,
honey and cranberries
You can use a Bramley-style
cooking apple or a large, sweet
dessert apple for this. Do score
the skin of each apple around its
tummy, so the skin splits in a wide
smile as they bake. (Should you
forget, your apples may explode
into a sweet, frothy mess.)
Ingredients
Serves 6
6 large apples
For the filling
100g plain cake crumbs or
brioche
½ tsp mixed spice
4 Tbsp runny honey
3 heaped Tbsp golden raisins or
sultanas
60g cranberries, fresh or frozen
6 heaped Tbsp redcurrant jelly
250ml orange juice
To serve
A jug of cream
Method
• Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• Remove the core from the
apples with an apple corer or
small, sharp knife. Score the
apples around their horizon,
cutting through the skin, but not
too deeply into the flesh. Place the
apples in a baking dish, but make
sure they are not quite touching.
Allow them a little room in which
to puff up.
• Make the filling by crumbling
the sponge cake crumbs into a
mixing bowl. Then add the mixed
spice, honey, golden raisins and
cranberries to the crumbs. Warm
the redcurrant jelly in a small
saucepan until it melts, then stir
into the crumb mixture.
• Stuff the hollows of the apples
with the fruit and crumb filling
using a teaspoon, scattering
any surplus around the base of
the fruit. Pour the orange juice
into the baking dish, then bake
for about 50 minutes until the
skins have split open. The apples
should be soft and frothy, but not
collapsed, so keep an eye on them.
• Serve with the juice in the
baking dish spooned over them or
with a jug of cream.

We need your help to fill our beds.
Cholmondeley Children’s Centre has
23 beds for tamariki to stay during
times of whānau stress or crisis. On
average just 17 of these beds are filled
due to resourcing constraints.
Every empty bed is a missed
opportunity to support a child in need.
Donate today to give Canterbury
tamariki a safe place to sleep.
www.cholmondeley.org.nz
Cholmondeley Children’s Centre provides
short term emergency or planned respite care
for tamariki when they need extra support due
to complications at home.
Cholmondeley is an independent charity
and costs just under $3,000,000 per year to
run. 20% of this figure is met by Government
funding, and the remaining 80% comes from
the generous support of the Canterbury
community.
