This 3 bedroom well insulated house on 875 square metres near Little River is ideal for those not wanting to break the bank. Asking only $550,000 the vendors are aiming for a quick sale.

Currently used as a veterinary clinic with an adjoining cattery, the cattery is an easy business to run from home for additional income, or if preferred can be reconverted back into a garage. There is also a large garden shed for extra storage.

Due to a previous owner’s health condition, extra insulation has been inserted underfloor and in the roof space and the current owners have installed a heat pump.

School bus stop right alongside, rail trail at your back door and enclosed by a DOC reserve which won’t be developed, you have the opportunity to enjoy a country lifestyle and be part of a friendly and supportive community, yet the big smoke of Christchurch is only 40 minutes drive away. Birdlings Flat’s dog friendly beach with excellent fishing is less than 2km away, close enough to hear the waves.
