34 Hawkhurst Road Lyttelton, Christchurch City

A love affair just waiting to happen...this charming survivor has an underlying beauty that will be sure to tug at any character lover's heartstrings. It is crying out for love and practicality to transform its tired state into what could be a treasure for the future.

Built around 1910, and tucked away in a secluded valley setting, there's more than a century of history wrapped up in a charming home that has had some preparatory work started. Its pathway towards its rebirth as a 21st-century heirloom and treasure will be in the hands of the new owners.

Street presentation is that of a cute, period cottage, with a charming verandahed frontage. The charm is more than skin deep - it is a fine example of local construction of the 19th century and early years of the 20th century using locally sourced native timbers, from framing to cladding and joinery. All too few of these examples have survived which is why its 'heirloom' status takes on increased significance.
