Brian's room

Rolleston, Canterbury 7615

Brand new build, May 2025. We still have work to do here, like put the TV & pictures up on the walls, & finish the garden design and build, but the house is well settled, and everything works.

The house is very well insulated & has a ducted heat pump with adjustable ports in each room. Modern floor-to-ceiling curtains, plush thick-pile carpets, & fully tiled shower. Bathroom has LED mirror with Bluetooth for showering to the hits. Shower & bathtub in the bathroom, & a separate toilet.

Large dining room, well appointed kitchen with stone tops & built-in stove, oven, & dishwasher. LED lights under the cabinets, & island worktop floodlights. Walk-in pantry, & separate laundry room with washing machine & dryer.

Sheltered portico entrance, drawer for shoes, wardrobe for coats & jackets, off-street parking, 14sq.m deck in the back yard, & rotating washing line.

The two rooms are identical in size, 3.1m x 3.0m, plus the wardrobe space which is 3m x 600mm, & fully usable (no half-width shelves here!). Truly massive storage comprising double wardrobe with shelves & drawers, double wardrobe with double hanging rails, & single wardrobe with high hanging rail. Also storage above those for less-often-used items such as travel bags, camping kit, etc.

Both rooms have large double-insulated windows with floor-to-ceiling curtains, & are furnished with a double bed, bedside tables, & bedside lamps. And, of course, those huge built-in wardrobes!

One room is available now (the other is taken).

There is off-street parking available in the driveway, and there is also on-street parking available right outside the property. Cars must have a current valid WOF and licence to enter the property, and workshop-style servicing is not allowed on the property in terms of the covenants. Washing cars is allowed, using mild cleaning substances.

Easy access to Christchurch & Lincoln by car, bus, or cycle. Lincoln uni is only 8-10minutes away by car.

I own the house and live here with my partner. I am an Electronics Design Engineer, 58, NZ citizen, born in Cape Town, South Africa. My partner, 37, NZ Resident, born in Bangkok, Thailand, is a Hospitality Worker at a five star hotel.

I play badminton, tutor calculus & physics to school students, & indulge in nature & scenery photography. My partner cycles, runs, & is a great chef. We love to travel together, anything from a day trip somewhere close, to a couple of weeks somewhere far far away. The other flatmate is 24, temporary visa from Germany, working locally in Rolleston.

We are all quiet non-smoking, light drinking people, respectful & trustworthy. We are house proud & keep a clean & tidy house. Looking for the company of flatmates with similar values to keep the chilled homely vibe.

Not a party house, but we’re happy to socialise over drinks & meals, as a flat group or with visiting friends.

Ideal flatmates would:

• pay in full on time every time
• not smoke, vape, or similar
• be respectful, considerate, clean, tidy, & peaceful
• be full time employed, or full time student

Lincoln uni is 8-10minutes away, so it’s very convenient for students there. Welcome students, working holiday visa holders, people relocating to Rolleston, etc. Respectful, kind, quiet, clean, and tidy non-smokers are invited to come over to see the house and room.

$200 for singles, $300 for couples.
