Build Big, Build Small, or Subdivide.

Once upon a time, this vibrant property played host to tennis matches and hardware shoppers alike - today, it’s a unique, flexible space full of possibilities. With its Business 1 zoning and a generously sized flat 3,035m2 site, it has many possible uses.

If you are looking to embark on a commercial venture, this one-of-a-kind property is packed with character and potential.

The original hardware store has been converted into a one-bedroom living space and the electrical wiring has been upgraded. The open-plan layout is nice and cosy with a wood burner and beautiful French Doors. However purchasers need to be aware that whilst the original workshop/hardware store has building consent, some of the additions will require building consent and a change of use will be required to keep it as living accommodation.

The vendors are currently working with the council to obtain the necessary consents for the additions but it will be up to the purchaser to obtain a change of use if continued to be used for residential as well.

The workshop is vast, with a soaring roof-line that could accommodate a vehicle hoist or large-scale machinery. Whether you’re into vehicle restoration, woodworking, or need a blank canvas for your next big idea, this space really delivers. The premises are currently fully insured.

The land itself has a nicely landscaped perimeter and loads of room for trucks, contracting equipment, or even future subdivision (subject to council consent). There’s enormous scope here, tiny homes, relocatable home, a commercial hub, lots of other options. The zoning and size of the consented building are valuable assets that could be further developed for a wide range of uses.

It is listed by Environment Canterbury as a potentially contaminated site due to past workshop uses. That doesn’t necessarily mean there is contamination—but it’s something to be aware of as you explore development or commercial use. All serious offers will be considered.
