186 Racecourse Road, Sockburn, Christchurch, Canterbury

This opportunity won't wait! Imagine the possibilities with 2,301 sqm freehold land, currently occupied by one charming character home. Incredible space with a wide street frontage and dual access, a selection of mature trees and the possibility of holding income and/or the restoration or sale of the house for removal - a wide range of options add up to an exciting prospect for development.

And what a location! Just five minutes to the Bush Inn Centre, Avonhead Shopping Centre, The Hub Hornby and the University of Canterbury, with Westfield Riccarton and the airport only a little further. Schooling options are also superb, with zoning for Avonhead School and Riccarton High, and nearby St Thomas of Canterbury College and Villa Maria providing an alternative. And let's not forget Riccarton Racecourse, where the Sunday Market is held, just across the road.

The existing dwelling on the property is a handsome weatherboard home comprising open-plan casual living, dining and kitchen, all with the high stud typical of the era and updated over the years to create a warm and welcoming space that's packed with character. A cosy adjoining sitting area includes a log-burner. The property includes four delightful bedrooms and a study, all sharing a bathroom with a separate bath. There's also a formal living room, a library, and a sunroom that leads to a private outdoor living area.

With parklike grounds including a large expanse of lawn and stunning mature trees, there is potential here to create something very special indeed. Opportunities like this don't come along often - don't miss your chance! Contact the agent without delay to view.
