There's plenty of space to love here in this two-bedroomed townhouse in a sought-after location. Near to the wide-open spaces of Halswell Quarry Park, accessible to the new Christchurch Southern Motorway, and less than 20 minutes to the centre of our emerging new city, it would make a perfect choice for those downsizing in retirement years, or investors looking for an opportunity.

A sizeable kitchen, dining and living space is the centre of the property, but there's also a second generous living-room. Both areas enjoy easy access via ranch-sliders to the patio and fully-fenced, low-maintenance garden. Plenty of storage can be found throughout the house, especially in bedrooms and in the kitchen, and there's also a double internal-access garage.

All the living is north-facing, making it a supremely light, airy home, and its rear setting makes it quiet and very private. If schooling is a consideration, it's under five minutes' drive to Oaklands Primary School and under ten minutes to Hillmorton High School.
