'The British'... The Icon... The Opportunity!

A slice of Lyttelton history in a dress circle location overlooking the Port - a centrally located 'As Is Where Is' opportunity to enjoy, extend or reconfigure. The location is amazing, the bones are strong, the character is undeniable and the opportunity is unlimited when consideration is given to the continuing rebirth of the Town Centre and the huge programme planned, and in the process of being implemented, for the Harbour Basin. A charming foyer area provides access to the first floor from the Oxford Street entrance. A well-known tattoo studio and a shop (utilised by the current owners) are on the first floor that has a direct link to the bare land area at the north of the hotel that forms part of the title. This open space has direct access from Oxford Street. The top floor is likely to be considered as an exciting project possibility. Multiple apartment conversion (subject to relevant consents) with its commanding port and Harbour Basin outlook may be a consideration or, perhaps, as accommodation for new owners. For this level to be considered for occupation, fire compliance work will be required and relevant approvals from the Christchurch City Council. The Basement, at Norwich Quay street level with direct street access, is leased as a bar / restaurant that enjoys strong local patronage.
