'As Is, Where Is' Affordable Antiquity!

A very pretty 1880s worker's cottage, endures today as a legacy of our early settlers bygone days. Well-loved in the past, the property has been a rental investment and is now in need of some TLC. Full of charm, this will enamour the romantics among us and certainly there is potential for those colonial enthusiasts to restore and rejuvenate here to create an enchanting ambiance.

Despite pressure from new residential developments, this is a neighbourhood that remains relatively untouched, a quiet leafy part of our inner suburbs, just a mere 15-minute stroll into the city centre and close to the Otakaro Avon River Trail in the other direction. A location sought after by those eager for an affordable entry into the property market, this street appeals to buyers looking for something less ordinary.

Surrounded by numerous other cottages and villas in various stages of restoration, this petite cottage is beautifully positioned on a small, Freehold corner site for maximum sun and light. Fully fenced, there is a secure off-street space for your vehicle. Both bedrooms have French doors to the East for morning sun and the kitchen opens to the north facing garden. The Wisteria draped front verandah has a peaceful outlook behind a white picket fence across the road to 'Chesterfields', the delightful community garden jointly maintained by locals and CCC where picnic tables sit among fruit trees and raised vege beds.

This is a picturesque property, very cute, which will be sure to appeal to those interested in preserving a tiny slice of early Canterbury history and wanting something more than a soulless townhouse. We strongly encourage your early viewing. You don't have to be a romantic, but you may very well fall in love!
