Set within the tightly held Englefield Heritage Area, this passive-designed home blends timeless character with some of Christchurch's most advanced residential construction. Created to complement its surroundings while delivering a true modern passive living experience, it offers a level of comfort, efficiency, and resilience rarely seen in the local market.
The layout has been carefully considered for both privacy and flexibility, with three generous bedrooms, each featuring its own fully tiled ensuite. A well-appointed kitchen anchors the home, while a fold-away office and separate sleepout provide options for working, hosting, or extended living.
Positioned within walking distance to the city centre, the Avon River walkways, yoga studios, and Pomeroy's Old Brewery Inn, the lifestyle on offer is just as compelling as the home itself.
