37 Rodney Street, New Brighton, Christchurch

Cottage plus studio

This 100-year-old cottage has seen better days, but what an opportunity with its cottage charm, plus you have the added bonus of a modern versatile studio at the back of the property. The cottage is currently insured and had no earthquake damage so no EQC claims were ever made on the property.

The two-bedroom cottage has been a rental for a number of years and could be refurbished or even demolished and replaced with a modern dwelling. It has three main rooms and a kitchen and bathroom, all functioning and liveable. The studio at the rear of the property is separated from the cottage by a fence and was built as a meditation room but recently it has been used as a bedroom and living space, it is divided into two rooms larger rooms as well as having a toilet and basin.

Sited on 478sqm of TC2 Land, zoned Residential Suburban under the district plan. The area has gone through some gentrification in recent times and the school zones of Avonside Girls' and Shirley Boys' High have helped put New Brighton on the map for families wanting the school zones.

Located in the seaside suburb of New Brighton only a short stroll from the beach makes this a great opportunity for the renovator or new home builder to make the most of the site.
