Overview

Freestanding and freehold - central Merivale

Set within a sought-after pocket of Merivale, this character home has been tightly held by our current owner for over three decades. Rich in original detail and positioned within walking distance of Hagley Park, it presents a rare opportunity to secure a 334sqm (more or less) freehold land parcel with genuine potential in one of Christchurch’s most enduring neighbourhoods. A welcoming hallway, lined with timber flooring and showcasing many of its original features, which are carried throughout. The kitchen is well proportioned and filled with natural light from an overhead skylight, while the adjoining living room is defined by its slanted ceilings and a log burner that anchors the space. Accommodation comprises two double bedrooms positioned at the front of the home, both filled with sunlight and showcasing ornate fireplaces. A separate studio adds further flexibility, ideal as a workspace, creative studio or guest accommodation. The established grounds have been thoughtfully arranged. A paved patio provides space to gather, while the garden and potting shed provide space for hobbies, storage or additional workspace. Positioned moments from Hagley Park, Merivale Village and the central city, the location also places you within sought-after school zones including Elmwood Normal School, Heaton Normal Intermediate, Christchurch Girls’ High School and Christchurch Boys’ High School. Several private schooling options are also nearby, with the property just steps from St Margaret’s College.
