Most townhouses in a complex share walls, rooflines and everything in between. This one doesn't share with anyone!

1/27 Cornwall Gardens is standalone, with a garage and privacy - a point of difference that's obvious the moment you arrive and genuinely rare in newer townhouse builds.

Built new in 2016, post the Canterbury earthquakes, it's over three decades younger than much of the surrounding complex. Modern construction, modern compliance, and a home that's had a fraction of the wear of most of its neighbours - Oh wait... there are no neighbours!

And then there's the boundary. This property backs onto a lovely stream - the kind of outlook that turns a townhouse into something altogether more appealing. There's lawn, there's greenery, and there are ducks. Friendly ones. They'll happily keep you company while you sit on the private patio with a morning coffee or an evening gin, watching the water go by. You can't manufacture that, and you certainly can't get it in an internal unit.

Inside, the layout is clean, practical and easy to live in.
Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms - two doubles with large wardrobes and a generous single great for guests or a home office - along with a full bathroom which have benefited from stylish recent improvements and separate toilets on both levels. Whether you need bedrooms for the family, a guest room or a proper home office, there's flexibility here.

Downstairs, everything is where you'd want it. There's a convenient toilet and laundry just as you enter, neatly tucked beneath the wraparound staircase - with good storage under the stairs that solves the problem townhouses usually have.

The kitchen, living and dining are practical with clean lines, flexible to furnish, and simple to keep. The private patio off the living is the spot that sells it: small enough to be low-maintenance, private enough to actually use.

And while there is lawn, this is genuinely an easy-care property. Enough green to enjoy, not enough to consume your weekends. Lock up and go.

Separate garage, with off-street parking in front of it - a real advantage in a complex setting, and one that makes daily life noticeably easier.

Then there's the location - The school zoning is a standout, with Christchurch Girls' High School, Christchurch Boys' High School, Papanui High School, St Albans Primary School and Heaton Intermediate all in the mix. For families, and investors that's a significant advantage and one of the property's strongest long-term features.

Edgeware Village is at the end of the street - around a one-minute walk for the supermarket, Peter Timbs Butchery and Iconic Bailies Irish Pub, where you can settle in for a drink or Tuesday quiz night. And when you want the city, Central Christchurch is approx a 25-minute walk. Close enough for dinner, drinks or work, but far enough away that home still feels peaceful.

A serious option for investors - Walking distance to the shops and the city, and sitting in a catchment that will keep this property in demand for years to come - which is exactly the combination that makes a reliable rental.

This would also make an excellent town pad for those who live outside the city - a low-maintenance base with real character - or a smart, comfortable home for a small family who want modern construction and the right zones without paying for a full section.
