Property Description

Set within the tightly held Englefield Heritage Area, this passive-designed home blends timeless character with some of Christchurch's most advanced residential construction. Created to complement its surroundings while delivering a true modern passive living experience, it offers a level of comfort, efficiency, and resilience rarely seen in the local market.

The layout has been carefully considered for both privacy and flexibility, with three generous bedrooms, each featuring its own fully tiled ensuite. A well-appointed kitchen anchors the home, while a fold-away office and separate sleepout provide options for working, hosting, or extended living.

Positioned within walking distance to the city centre, the Avon River walkways, yoga studios, and Pomeroy's Old Brewery Inn, the lifestyle on offer is just as compelling as the home itself.

Key Features:

Passive-house design delivering consistent year-round temperature with minimal energy use
Triple-glazed European joinery and airtight construction for superior insulation and comfort
Heat-recovery ventilation system providing constant fresh, filtered air
Double-wall insulation and thermal-bridge-free construction to reduce heat loss and condensation
Elevated on 50 deep-driven poles for protection against flooding and ground movement
Roofline engineered to better withstand extreme wind conditions
Hebel aerated concrete cladding for fire resistance, durability, and acoustic performance
Heat-pump hot water and heat-recovery shower systems for energy efficiency
Pre-installed provision for solar panels and battery storage
EV charging capability at both the front and rear
Low-VOC, moisture-managed materials supporting a healthier indoor environment
Separate, solar-capable sleepout with its own services
Homes like this are not just built differently, they perform differently. With rising energy costs, increasing weather uncertainty, and a growing focus on health and sustainability, this is the type of property that becomes more valuable over time.

For buyers who think long term, this is an opportunity to secure a home that is warmer, healthier, more efficient, and built for what comes next.

As a former professional track and road cyclist from New Zealand, I am proud of my achievements on the international stage, including silver and bronze medals at the 2008 Olympics and three medals at the Commonwealth Games, as well as multiple national titles. After retiring from cycling in 2016, I focused my passion and knowledge on supporting others in pursuing their cycling goals.

But with 24 years of experience as both an athlete and coach in the cycling world, I have now shifted my attention to helping my clients achieve their real estate aspirations with the same drive and commitment that propelled me to athletic success.
