This is a rare chance to create an iconic home in Christchurch from a solid 1880s (approx.) stables. This 360 square m building has some beautiful internal brick walls and a large back section that you can let your imagination run wild on.

Our plan was to modernize the three flats that were in a dilapidated state. When we started to clear the old 1950s walls we discovered some beautiful internal brick walls and arches etc. It was clear just how unique and beautiful this could be for someone with imagination.

We have taken much of the risk out of the building by clearing it out, getting a plan for minor earthquake fixes, and insurance along with some quotes for new roof and wooden windows. You then have a large, solid, beautiful building with 6.2 m height ready to create some stunning spaces.

The last set of photos are some concepts we have had done that show some of the possibilities for the property. There are lots of options for how the rooms could be set up and easy to see all of the structure to re-wire and re-plumb how ever you like.

Do not contact us if you are looking for a bargain because plan A is still to make 3 beautiful townhouses. We just thought we’d see if anyone had the vision to turn it into an iconic, stunning home.

It is an unusual chance to do something significant with a solid historic building. See this Press article on the property that gives some idea of the potential.
