We live in a 3 bed house in the township of Oxford, North Canterbury, with our beautiful Persian cat Gizmo, and our fun-loving Bearded Collie, Poodle x Harry. Our home is a 3 minute walk to the township where you can indulge in fine dinning, amazing coffee, experience traditional English High Tea at Pink Sugar, browse the amazing shops or just take in the ambiance.
We have a large kitchen and separate dinning room that offers views of the Southern Alps, we have a separate lounge with open fire. We have a separate Laundry and Toilet downstairs, alongside a games room. Upstairs we have 2 bedrooms and a study. We also have a large bathroom. Our gardens are front and back and boast an saltwater outdoor pool. We are just in the process of creating another room in the garden
