Charming, established character and a flexible living arrangement define this appealing two-bedroom cottage and separate studio, where warmth and individuality sit comfortably alongside thoughtful refurbishments to the kitchen and bathroom while preserving the home's inherent charm.
The cottage itself presents an exciting opportunity to get a foothold in this sought after seaside community. Light-filled interiors create an environment that feels settled and immediately enjoyable.
A separate studio adds valuable versatility, offering natural flexibility as an additional room, workspace or creative retreat. This independent space broadens the home's appeal across a range of lifestyles, from couples and small families to downsizers or those seeking work-from-home separation.
Outdoor living has been carefully shaped to complement the cottage aesthetic, with attractive courtyards and easy indoor-outdoor flow extending to a wisteria-covered verandah that introduces both shelter and seasonal beauty. These outdoor zones provide inviting settings for quiet relaxation or casual entertaining while maintaining privacy and usability.
The landholding introduces another dimension of interest. Its dual access with entry off both Whitfiled and Arnold Streets create a sense of possibility for those who may wish to reimagine or create something new over time, while comfortably enjoying the existing home in the meantime.
Practicality is well considered, with off-street parking and a carport supporting everyday convenience and a logburner creates ambiance through the winter months. Positioned within comfortable walking distance of local schools, Sumner village amenities and the beach, the property offers a coastal lifestyle defined by connection and ease.
Combining cottage charm, flexible accommodation and underlying land interest, this property presents a compelling option for those seeking a manageable home with scope and long-term appeal in one of Christchurch's most recognised seaside communities.
