Character, Privacy & Plenty of Possibility
Humble in size but big on personality. Positioned on a quiet street in Addington, this character-filled cottage offers a little bit of everything: charm, privacy, flexible living and plenty of potential to make it your own. Being well over 100 years old, it has a few bumps and bruises, but the bones of something special are here, with the opportunity to enjoy it as it stands and add your own touch over time.
Understood to be one of the original workers' cottages from local mills and built at the turn of the last century, this is a charming character home. The cottage makes clever use of its footprint, and not a square inch goes to waste. With European-style double glazing, skylights and a cosy layout that can work as either 2 bedrooms, as it is now, or something else from your imagination: Maybe it's your studio or a place to work from home and meet your clients. A heat pump adds year-round comfort, while the home's character gives it a personality that brings a smile to your face. It's a home you can move into and enjoy as it is, while still having the opportunity to make improvements and add your own touch over time.
Step outside and discover an established, private backyard that feels like your own little escape. With doors opening out from both the kitchen and second room, indoor-outdoor flow comes naturally. There's room to entertain friends, enjoy a quiet afternoon in the garden or even enhance your evenings by adding a spa pool. Excellent off-street parking is almost essential in the city fringes, and you have it here, and when it's time to head out, you're well connected to the city, shopping centres, parks and everyday amenities.
Whether you're looking for character as it stands, an experienced renovator ready for the next project, or a buyer who can see the potential, this is a property with options. Character, privacy and potential, all in a handy Addington location. Come and see what you could make of it.
Auction: To be held from 6:00 pm, Thursday 19th November 2026 (unless sold prior) at Ray White Auction Rooms, Level 2, 110 Wrights Road, Addington, Christchurch
