About this property
Here's an opportunity for renovators, visionaries and value-adders to get stuck into a genuine original. Owned by the same owner since it was built, this classic 1960s brick home has been lovingly preserved in largely original condition. And while it may be showing its age, that's exactly where the opportunity lies. Set in sought-after St Martins and zoned for Cashmere High School, the home offers three bedrooms, one bathroom, a separate toilet and a large original retro kitchen - perfect inspiration for those ready to bring their renovation ideas to life. The sun-trap conservatory is a real highlight, soaking up the afternoon sun and offering a cosy space to relax, read or simply enjoy the garden. Outside, the fully fenced section provides plenty of room for families, pets and gardeners, with two garden sheds, a separate double garage and ample off-street parking. This is not a home where the renovation has already been done for you - and that's the point. There's scope to reconfigure the layout, modernise the interiors, add your own style and unlock the potential that's been sitting here for decades. Whether you're an experienced renovator, a builder looking for your next project, or a buyer wanting to create something truly your own, 17 Claxton Place offers the blank canvas. Bring your ideas, bring your plans, and bring your imagination - this one is ready for its next chapter. Auction: To be held from 11am, 1st October 2026 at Ray White City Office, 76 Hereford Street, City Centre, Christchurch (unless sold prior) Want to watch or bid on the auction online?
