Welcome to this character-filled 1960s cottage — compact, stylish, and full of soul. With a colourful past as a creche, school library, and creative space for St Joseph’s, this HOME carries a unique local story you won’t find anywhere else.

Inside, it’s beautifully modernised with a sleek kitchen, upgraded bathroom, thoughtful finishes, and a cosy log-burner with insulation to keep things snug. Designed for easy living and low overheads, it’s boutique in scale yet big on atmosphere — an ideal retreat for solo buyers or couples seeking charm without compromise.

Set on a manageable 388sqm section, there’s enough garden to enjoy without feeling tied to maintenance. A separate powered studio at the rear adds huge versatility — the perfect work-from-home space, creative hub, hobby room, or occasional guest retreat.

Drive-on access and off-street parking are a real bonus in this sought-after seaside community.

Lyttelton offers a vibrant lifestyle — rich heritage, a warm and eclectic local culture, independent eateries, live music, galleries, and the iconic weekend farmers market. It’s a harbour-side village with heart, creativity, and a strong sense of community.

A rare opportunity to secure a special HOME in a special place — small in footprint, large in lifestyle.
