14 Oxford Terrace
Central Christchurch, Canterbury
Elevated character, room to grow.
A double-brick villa on the quiet bend of Oxford Terrace, where the Avon slows and the city softens into tree-lined calm.
Set behind an established hedge on one of central Christchurch's most walkable streets, number 14 has been carefully restored — original sash windows, native rimu floors and decorative ceilings kept, while the kitchen and bathrooms were quietly brought into the present.
The north-facing living room opens through French doors onto a sheltered courtyard garden, and the kitchen looks back over it — the kind of layout that works as well for a Tuesday night as it does for a long Sunday lunch. Three generous bedrooms, two renovated bathrooms, and a separate study give the floor plan room to flex as life changes.
A two-minute walk from the Botanic Gardens, the Terrace dining precinct and the hospital, this is a home for people who want to step out the door and into the city — without giving up the green.

Oxford Terrace runs along the Avon at the western edge of the central city. It's one of the few addresses where you can walk to the hospital, the Botanic Gardens and a Friday dinner — and still hear birdsong from your own garden.
