Beach walks at sunrise, cafe brunches with friends, and softly glowing evenings in the village… this is everyday life in Sumner.
Now imagine coming home to a character-filled 1890s cottage, cherished by the same family for 60 years.
Welcome to a rare slice of Christchurch's seaside history. Tucked away on a quiet street and embraced by the hills just moments from the ocean, this two-bedroom home is bursting with personality, warmth, and potential. A home with real heart - and now it's ready for its next chapter. Whether you're dreaming of a coastal retreat, a charming renovation project, or a prime site to reimagine and rebuild, opportunities like this don't come around often.
Property Highlights:
- Original 1890s charm with authentic character features
- Two bedrooms + office/hobby room with cottage-style windows
- Separate lounge and kitchen
- Private garden - a green sanctuary near the beach
- Single garage + garden shed
- Fully insured with EQC repairs completed
This sun-drenched neighbourhood blends coastal charm with a vibrant, connected community. Think artisan bakeries, morning surf, scenic walks, and laid-back sophistication that brings people together.
Yes, character comes with quirks - and like many homes of its vintage, some floor levels sit outside modern tolerances. But that's all part of the story. EQC repairs have been completed, and the home is currently fully insured. For buyers wanting to restore, refresh or rebuild, this is your chance to honour the past while shaping the future.
Captivated by the charm? Inspired by the potential?
Don't wait another 60 years - our owner has found her next chapter.
Could this be the start of yours?
