What's around 163 Ilam Road

Room to Relax 1213sqm With Pool!

Auction | Wednesday 25th November 2026 from 10am at the Holmwood Auction Rooms, 399 Ilam Road, Bryndwr (unless sold prior). After 24 years here, our sellers are downsizing and this private and peaceful North facing setting is crying out for a new family. Set on 1213sqm on a rear site with its own driveway is a substantial home waiting for the sound of children voices in the pool or playing cricket on the lawn! A 1980s classic, designed by Trengrove Architects in white concrete block with a high pitched roofline, this is a traditional style in dependable, peace of mind construction. As classic inside as it is on the exterior, some may feel there is value to be added by renovation. However we believe it is a most liveable home with simple tasteful décor. Currently configured as three bedrooms, two upstairs and one down, with three spacious living areas it would be straightforward to create a fourth bedroom if required. The main living room has a striking double height ceiling and vast windows letting light and sun flood in. A library or study area looks down from above. There are several outdoor seating areas for quiet contemplation or lively entertainment. A well-established garden is brimming with pretty flowering shrubs and hedging. Double garaging has easy access at the end of the driveway and plenty of room for extra vehicles and turning. The value of this large parcel of MRZ land is a secure investment and further underpinned by the location, walking distance to Canterbury University and with an extra wide choice of schooling in overlapping zones. Westburn and Ilam for Primary; Kirkwood for Intermediate; and Burnside High School, Christchurch Boys' High School, and Christchurch Girls' High School thereafter. If you have, or are contemplating a family, then another long tenure here would be entirely understandable! For definite sale, we urge your inspection.
