Old soul. New bones.

It's a Lyttelton address, on a street that's been here since the town was barely a town, and the council still has it down as a 1920s cottage.

But the home itself is a very different story.

Extensively rebuilt and architecturally designed, it retains the character of its Lyttelton setting with the comfort and ease of something much newer.

Inside - Open-plan living, with skylights bringing natural light in from above.

The modern kitchen has a stone benchtop and quality appliances, while the bathroom is finished to the same standard.

There are two bedrooms, a walk-in wardrobe and fitted wardrobes, heating, double glazing and insulation, plus a separate downstairs loo.

The attic provides plenty of additional storage with easy access.

It feels like a new home. It just happens to live somewhere with more personality.

Outside - A flat section. In Lyttelton.

There's off-street parking for one, an established easy-care garden and room for a table, barbecue and a few friends.

No lawn and very little to look after.

London Street is around four minutes away, putting the cafés, Saturday market, pubs and heart of Lyttelton comfortably within walking distance.

The pool, park and primary school are only a couple of minutes away.

Who it suits

Downsizers, couples, or anyone wanting the character and community of Lyttelton without taking on an old villa and its list of jobs.
