With so many of Christchurch's older buildings now gone, large character homes like this dont come to market that often.
Built in 1910, it retains many original features, such as sash windows, wood panelling, decorative arches and fireplaces and, although there is no doubt it could do with renovation, it has great bones.

Three big bedrooms and an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area offer plenty of space for the growing family or for flatmates. Its roof was replaced five years ago and there are three heatpumps for the colder months.

While this freehold property represents excellent value-for-money for a first-time buyer or an investor, it would also suit someone with the vision and the means to restore an original home to its former glory. Its position close to Addington Park and less than ten minutes walk from Addingtons array of shops, restaurants, cafes and bars is enviable, and Hagley Park and Barrington Mall are both only a short drive. As far as local schools are concerned, Addington or West Spreydon Primary Schools serve the juniors, while older students are zoned for Christchurch South Intermediate and Cashmere High Schools.
