144 Thomson Street, Tinwald, Ashburton, Canterbury

Deadline Sale by 26th Sept at 2.00pm (unless sold prior).

On a sunny corner site in the heart of Tinwald, this 1912 home offers character, space, and an undeniable opportunity. Loved and lived in by the same family for more than four decades, it is ready for new vision and fresh energy. Directly across the road from Tinwald School, with the church nearby and the new Fresh Choice just around the corner, the location is as convenient as it is sought-after.

The home is being sold “as is, where is,” with no warranties given, but recent upgrades already tick a couple of important boxes: a new roof ensures peace of mind overhead, while a compliant log burner brings warmth and comfort through the cooler months. Attention will now be required on the exterior cladding and cosmetic updates, leaving plenty of scope to add value.

Inside, the layout is simple and functional, with two generous bedrooms, an open-plan lounge and dining space that flows easily to a private backyard, and a tidy kitchen alongside the bathroom with shower over bath and vanity. A front sunroom catches the morning light, while the traditional outhouse toilet tucked just off the kitchen is a nostalgic reminder of the home’s era.

The section is established and full of potential, with mature gardens that will burst into life come soon, multiple sheds for storage, and plenty of room to re-landscape, extend, or even consider a new build, subject to council consents. Partially fenced, it’s a setting that has been well loved and is now ready for its next chapter.

Whether you choose to restore its charm or start fresh, this is a property with endless possibilities in a prime Tinwald location. Call Sam Gregory today to arrange your viewing.
