This cottage has all the charm of the early 20th century home that previously stood alongside its sisters, with none of the draughts of old houses. It was completely rebuilt in 2014 with a heat pump, double glazing and decent insulation installed, so it's toasty warm.

The open plan living opens through shuttered French doors onto a veranda and the modern kitchen's high-end appliances (including dishwasher), soft-close joinery and ample storage are just what every foodie could possibly want.

Two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes open onto a deck and large private, landscaped courtyard.

Pets negotiable

Situated close to the Christchurch CBD and zoned for sought-after schools including Christchurch Girls' and Boys' High, as well as Heaton Intermediate, it's easy central living at its best.
