70 Victoria Street, Oxford, Waimakariri, Canterbury

This one-hectare property on Victoria Street, situated on the outskirts of residential Oxford, presents an ideal opportunity for lifestyle buyers seeking space without the maintenance demands of a larger holding. The completely renovated 250m² home features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two living areas, including a home theatre projector, all complemented by a double internal access garage. Recent improvements include new carpet throughout including the garage, oak floor overlay, vinyl planking, LED lighting, window treatments, solar hot water, and a wetback system connected to a new dual element 300-litre mains pressure cylinder, along with a new AEG Pyrolytic oven and refreshed kitchen.

Climate control is comprehensive, with a large wood burner featuring wet-back capability, heat pump and heat transfer system ensuring year-round comfort, enhanced by the Healthy Homes compliant insulation and double glazing. The spacious living areas flow seamlessly to a private section, where expansive lawns and established specimen trees and shrubs frame stunning mountain views. A substantial 13.5m x 6m three-bay lock-up shed provides versatile space, with an additional dedicated she-shed at one end, plus secure storage, perfect for various hobbies and projects.

The property's self-sufficiency features include two greenhouses (one plumbed) and extensive raised-bed vegetable gardens, capable of supporting a family's produce needs. Modern amenities include a sealed driveway, town mains water, town sewer connection, security lighting, and a new pergola with louvres extending from the living area. The property offers enough space for a pony, and under the proposed district plan, could potentially be subdivided into two 5000m² sections, subject to Council approval.
