Auction (unless sold prior)
From 11am, Thu 19 Nov 2026

Nestled in a secluded setting on sought-after Heywards Road, this architecturally designed home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a relaxed lifestyle with an impressive 300 metres of frontage to the spring-fed waters of Silverstream.

Surrounded by mature gardens and adjoining the Reserve, the property enjoys an established setting with a beautiful natural outlook.

Built in the 1980s, the home has been thoughtfully modernised, blending its original architectural character with contemporary comforts. Double glazing and a new Colorsteel roof add further appeal, while the single-level layout provides easy, practical living.

The open-plan kitchen, living and dining area provides a welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining, complemented by a separate lounge offering a quieter place to relax.

The home offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a master bedroom with a recently updated ensuite. Three further double bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom.

A loft room above the garage offers flexibility as an additional bedroom or home office, while a separate lock-up studio within the three-bay barn provides extra space for hobbies, creative pursuits or working from home.

Combining an exceptional riverside setting with versatile living spaces, this distinctive property offers a peaceful lifestyle just 20 minutes from Christchurch city and the airport.
