5 Struthers Street, Fairlie, Canterbury

Just on the edge of Fairlie Township is this 2 bedroom cottage looking straight out to the mountains, with an additional sleepout to the side. The original home was built in the 1940's, it had a major extension in 1977 and the sleepout with a storage shed alongside was added in 1987.

The kitchen and dining room have two means of heating, there is a heat pump and a coal range which has a wetback to the water cylinder. You can use the coal range for cooking or the electric oven is there if you prefer. From this sunny dining room you have views from Mt Dobson right around to Four Peaks.

The lounge has an inbuilt log fire and the main bedroom and sunroom are off this room, with the second bedroom accessed through the sunroom. The bathroom is due for an upgrade but the bath, toilet and shower cubicle are all still functional. The laundry is alongside with space for another fridge, freezer or additional pantry storage.

The sleepout also has great views to the mountains. It has some kitchen joinery and a water cylinder (not connected) and a toilet in the store shed alongside. The store shed also provides space for additional fridges, freezers and garden tools.

The spacious double garage has a work bench in front plus wood and coal storage inside and out. Doors enclose one side of the shed only.

This sunny home needs some work but it has a wonderful outlook, is connected to the town water supply, and sits on a tidy 1022 sqm section with a variety of sheds, fruit trees and veggie garden. Such a great opportunity to enter the market at a reasonable level and create something for yourself or your family.
