Seaside cottage ‘a little wonky’, but owner’s had 60 good years
They don’t come much cuter than this 1890s worker’s cottage in the sought-after seaside suburb of Sumner, Christchurch.
AI summary
A charming 1890s worker's cottage in the desirable seaside suburb of Sumner, Christchurch, is for sale after being a beloved home for 60 years. The 63m² property is known for its unique character, including being "a little wonky" with uneven floors from its original build.
While fully insured and liveable, the two-bedroom home offers scope for refurbishment. It is being marketed around its land value, with price expectations "better than $500,000" ahead of its auction.
The owner has lived here for the past 60 years, and is only selling because she has moved to an “over 50s” unit in Norwood.
The galley-style kitchen is in tidy order.
This bedroom has the advantage of a wee office and French doors to the garden.
This room could be a small office.
The agents say the house was built with a slightly uneven floor back in the 1890s, which then determined the alignment of the rest of the structure.
There’s even a white picket fence along the boundary.
