Positioned in the centre of Lyttelton's thriving town hub, 19 Oxford Street presents a rare and highly versatile offering with Banks Peninsula Commercial zoning-ideal for hospitality, creative enterprise, boutique accommodation, or a live/work opportunity.
Set on a freehold 369m2 (more or less) section, with off-street parking for 4-5 vehicles, this single-level building offers fantastic visibility and foot traffic-especially during Lyttelton's iconic Saturday market. It's also a great time to invest in Lyttelton, with exciting new development underway in the commercial heart of the town.
Originally built in 2001, the property was extensively renovated in 2018 by Bull/O'Sullivan Architecture and Browntown Builders, with upgrades including double-glazed joinery, fire-rated doors, soundproofing, and external access to every bedroom. The rear garage was also converted into two ensuite rooms.
Currently used as a maritime accommodation building for the New Zealand Waterfront Workers Union Incorporated, the layout includes:
• Four bedrooms, each with private external access
• Two bathrooms, two ensuites, and a guest toilet
• Open-plan communal space
• Extensive plumbing, ideal for a cafe, bar, or boutique accommodation
• Sale price is + GST
• With no current leases, this building is ready to go
The zoning requires a commercial component but allows for mixed-use flexibility. A second storey may be possible, subject to council consents, providing excellent scope for expansion.
The usage was officially changed to 'Hostel' in 2018, and the property offers significant potential for future reconfiguration or optimisation.
Opportunities like this-central, flexible, and low maintenance-are increasingly rare in Lyttelton. Don't miss your chance to make it yours.
