79-181 Lymington road, HighCliff, Christchurch

The West Lodge, a property with historical significance dating back to the 1770s, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Originally part of the Lord Bute Hotel Estate, this structure offers potential as a distinctive residential or guest accommodation option. With its rich background, the West Lodge was formerly paired with the East Lodge—an establishment that served as an upscale private guest suite. While the East Lodge has now found a new owner, West Lodge remains available for those looking to restore it to its former glory. The property features a sitting room, bedroom, and spacious bathroom; however, it is clear that substantial refurbishment is needed. The current listing price takes into account the investment required to revitalize this charming building. Historically significant as part of the formal entryway to Highcliff Castle in the 18th century, this lodge is positioned within a desirable area that benefits from both its heritage and surroundings. This location not only enhances its potential character but also offers attractive prospects for future development or rental opportunities. Prospective buyers are encouraged to view the property by appointment only.
