Sunvale Terrace in the suburb of Cashmere, Christchurch

Sunvale Tce in Cashmere and nothing on the library website. Papers Past mostly had ads for sections in the 1970s and as they were all described as sunny elevated sections this is possibly the reason for the name. Most houses were built in the 1970s and 1980s but there are two houses from 1940 and one from 1950s. I did like the house from the 1950s and it looked more like a lovely 1920s wooden villa. There was another house that I assumed was very modern which I couldn’t decide if I liked or not. From the front it looked very ordinary but from the side it had a strange angle that I quite liked. When I checked it out I realised that it was probably from the 1980s and had been empty for 7 years after the earthquakes. It was sold as a ‘As is where is’ property. This was a very common thing after the earthquakes. At the start of the street there is a reserve and a playground. It is also a steep wee street to walk up and there is a footpath on only one side of the street. I did still quite like the street.
