Nestled in the charming Oxford, this delightful 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage with a single carpark on an expansive 809sqm freehold section is a gem that exudes an Alpine village charm. Constructed in 1980 with plastic exterior walls and an iron roof, both in good condition, this property is a cozy winter retreat with double glazing, a multi fuel cooker/fire on wetback, and a heat pump. The large, well-maintained decking, two covered verandas, private courtyard with an outdoor fire, and a separate studio make for perfect summer lounging. The property has seen a 61.9% increase in Capital Value from $315,000 in August 2019 to the current $510,000 as of July 2022. The HouGarden AVM estimates the property at $495,000, while the latest sales were at $380,000 in February 2021 and $310,000 in August 2018. This family-sized section is not only a perfect downsizing option or first home but also falls within the highly sought-after school zones of Rangiora New Life School (decile 9), Christchurch Adventist School (decile 5), and Marian College (Secondary, decile 8), offering an excellent education network.
Oxford, with its strong community spirit, is a beautiful country village with convenient amenities and is strategically located - just 20 minutes to Darfield, 25 minutes to Rangiora, and 45 minutes to Christchurch International Airport.
