2 rooms house of 1891m² in Christchurch

This two-storey townhouse is in an outstanding location - less than five minutes' walk to Hagley Park on a quiet street with no city traffic. It is a minute's walk from the number 8 bus line which runs through the city right to Lyttleton, and there are always lime scooters available to zip into the city if you don't feel like walking or biking in. The property is part of Tonbridge Mews, a landmark 1969 development by architect Peter Bevan, with the iconic green pitched roof and bright, airy layout. Pets are welcome, and the space is perfect for a cat or small dog. On the left side of the downstairs space is a sunny dining area with a large table and bifold doors opening to the secure patio. This spot is great for hosting a weekend brunch or working from home! You can easily sit six people at the table, and the bench neatly tucks under the table when not in use to maximise space. The patio is securely fenced and fully paved, with planter boxes around the perimeter. It has beautiful established white roses, a huge feijoa tree, pink camelias and a jasmine plant which entwines the fence. It is low maintenance, very sunny and private. The garden beds have drip irrigation installed so no watering required! There is also a handy wall-mounted extendable rotary clothesline which folds down against the wall when not in use. The cosy lounge has curved sofas and an ottoman, perfect for nights in watching the 50" smart TV complete with Bose sound bar. The embroidery wall hanging was handmade in Mexico in a traditional style. There is additional inbuilt and hidden storage in this space to keep the space uncluttered and restful. The kitchen has great hidden storage, including a vertical pantry and an appliance cupboard. It has a ceramic benchtop, Miele oven, full-size dishwasher, microwave and insinkerator. It has great bench space and is well laid out for cooking and baking. Glasses, cups, cutlery, utensils, plates, cookware and bakeware are provided as part of the rental, as are the kettle, four-slice toaster and electric beater. The main downstairs windows and bifold doors are double-glazed, and there is a powerful Panasonic heat pump in the living area, ensuring it is always cosy in winter and cool in summer. The entryway has a new e-lock, which allows you to use a code, fob or an app to enter the property. You can easily give temporary access codes to family, friends or tradespeople - and you can see a log of who has entered the property and when. There is a convenient separate laundry and toilet immediately to the left of the entryway. There is ample storage here, both shelving, an undersink cupboard and a large utility cupboard, a sink, washer and dryer. This area has narrow windows which can be safely left open to ventilate the space when the dryer is on. The feature painted stairs lead up to the master bedroom, second bedroom, main bathroom, second toilet and attic storage space. All these spaces have high vaulted ceilings which make them feel extra light and spacious - a signature of Peter Bevan designs. The master bedroom has a beautiful view over the patio and gets plenty of sun. It has built-in double-height robes, a queen sized bed and mattress, two bedside tables with lamps, a dresser and 40 inch TV with a google TV streamer. It is quite spacious and could easily fit a desk for a WFH setup. The second bedroom is smaller but just as sunny and light. It has a double bed and mattress, bedside table and lamp and double-height built-in robes. It could also easily be converted into a study if needed, as the wi-fi signal on the second floor is excellent. The bathroom is airy and light, with a walk-in shower, suspended toilet and large vanity with a lot of storage. It has a large frosted window which gives privacy while maximising light, a new wall-mounted heater, ventilation and heated towel rail. The current hot water cylinder is about to be replaced, which will open up additional storage in this space. The attic space will house the new heat pump hot water cylinder, which will reduce your energy bills considerably. The space will still provide great extra storage. The property comes with a single lock-up garage in the complex, as well as free on-street parking. We are renting the property fully-furnished, with everything you see in the photos included except the pot plants and bedding/towels. I will be holding two open homes for this property if you would like to view it - 11am Saturday 16th August and 1pm Sunday 17th August. Please
