Not Your Typical - And That's the Point!
When townhouses start to look and feel much the same, this one stands apart - literally. Positioned privately at the rear and completely detached, this near-new Brooksfield Homes residence delivers something increasingly hard to find: the ease of townhouse living, without sharing a wall.

WHAT MAKES THIS ONE STAND-OUT? • Designed by renowned architect Ben Pentreath • Built by Brooksfield Homes • Completely detached - no adjoining home or shared wall • Private rear position • 2 bedrooms + dedicated study nook • Stylish bathroom plus downstairs separate toilet • High-spec kitchen with quality appliances and stone benchtop • Elegant heritage-inspired finishes and detailing • Light-filled open-plan living • Low-maintenance living perfect for busy lifestyles • Healthy Homes compliant • With Solar panels
Step inside and the differences continue.
The two-level layout creates natural separation between living and sleeping, while the dedicated study nook gives you a proper place to work from home, study or keep the laptop and paperwork off the dining table. Outside, the rear position and detached design give the home a sense of independence that's difficult to find in a modern townhouse development. And with one internal access car garaging, there's room for more than just the essentials.
NEAR-NEW - WITHOUT THE WAIT Purchased in March 2026, this is an unusually fresh opportunity for the next owner. Rather than waiting for a new build or buying off the plans, you can see exactly what you're getting - a completed home with signature architectural character.
And while its official description may say townhouse, its features tell a rather different story.
Detached. Rear positioned. Solar. Study nook. Near-new. Architectural
The location is hard to beat. With the vibrant shopping, dining and services of Barrington Mall just minutes away and a short commute to the Christchurch CBD, you'll enjoy the convenience of city-fringe living while still being part of a well-established community.
For first-home buyers, downsizers, professionals or anyone who likes the convenience of townhouse living but wants more separation, more parking and a little more individuality, this one deserves a closer look.

What is rental yield?
Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $600 × 52 weeks = $31,200, against the council valuation of $620,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.
How we worked this out
| Evidence | Points to | Counted |
|---|---|---|
| 3 rentals advertised nearby each adjusted to this property’s bedrooms and value | $625 | 3% |
| From its value what rentals in the area typically yield | $599 | 97% |
We read this property as a townhouse. Rentals advertised nearby count most when they are close, recent and alike; the more of them there are, the less the area’s bond figures count. Bond figures are rents agreed in new tenancies, from Tenancy Services, placed within the area by how this property’s council valuation compares with similar homes there.

Building consents
We hold no building consents for this property yet. The council may hold records we have not seen.
If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
Zoning and hazards
What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.
Reading the council's maps…
What could you build here?
See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
