More like an apartment, this cute as a button home was completely renovated only a few years ago. It’s full of style and character and to be the one who rents it, you’ll have to be a person who appreciates this.

It’s north facing, very sunny, has views of the Hokonui hills, is only a two-minute walk to the Mataura River and a five-minute walk to the centre of Gore.

Two small equal-sized bedrooms make it best suited to a single or a couple (so you have a spare room). There are no built-in wardrobes. There is however an additional space that could be used as an office or potentially an extra sleeping space for guests.

It won’t take much to furnish – it comes with fridge and front load washing machine, and some other pieces (barstools / shelves) if that suits your needs.

The complete renovation includes new bathroom, with a bath and shower, and a new kitchen. It’s fully insulated (walls too) so nice and cosy. The windows that are new are double-glazed.

And the real drawcard is the quirky brick fire surround with an electric ‘fake flame’ heater for the winter. It’s kitsch but cool.

• Polished wooden floors

• Gas hot water and stove top

• Fibre connected to the house

There is a garage, but no doors (so more of a carport), and a shed next to the garage to store garden things. The garden is minimal, so easy care if you want it, or scope to have a vege garden if that’s what you’re into. There’s a cherry plum tree full of fruit in the summer.
