Property Description

There are new developments, and then there are developments that have already earned their place.

Healthy returns and can be offered fully furnished, the property presents genuine versatility: an investment for the long-term tenant market, corporate accommodation or serviced stays, or simply an elegant lock-and-leave central city base.

A sophisticated two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence within one of central Christchurch’s most architecturally recognised developments — a place where design, liveability and long-term quality have been considered from the outset.

Designed by award-winning Christchurch architects Sheppard & Rout, Worcester Terraces received both a Canterbury Architecture Award and a New Zealand Institute of Architects National Architecture Award in the multi-unit housing category. Rather than simply placing a collection of townhouses on a site, the development was conceived as a cohesive residential neighbourhood, with equal attention given to architecture, landscaping, privacy, streetscape and the experience of living within it.

Now fully completed and established, the advantage is tangible. The landscaping has matured, the community is in place and the finished environment can be appreciated exactly as it was intended — something increasingly difficult to find among newer developments still finding their identity.

Inside, this beautifully presented residence continues that emphasis on quality. Open-plan living and kitchen spaces are framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, while a considered specification includes quality kitchen appliances, induction cooking, Dishwasher, integrated laundry facilities, a three-door pantry, double blinds and premium fixtures and fittings. Bathrooms feature tiled showers and flooring with underfloor heating, complemented by Mitsubishi heating and a Fres Air recovery system. The home also carries a Homestar 6 rating.

Beyond the apartment, automatic gated entry, stairway path lighting and the established shared environment contribute to a sense of security, privacy and refinement. Yet this peaceful setting remains remarkably connected — within easy walking distance of the CBD, Convention Centre, Stadium, New Regent Street and the hospitality precinct of The Terrace.

Currently operating as an Airbnb. Can be offered fully furnished.

For the discerning buyer, Worcester Terraces - With all but one of the residences still held by their original owners, Worcester Terraces is a rare opportunity — a compelling endorsement of its enduring quality, design and appeal.

Take advantage of this opportunity to buy before we offer it to the rest of the market.
