You can BANK on this property returning a sound investment for you! Operating as the National Bank and then Westpac back right through to 1991, this is probably the most photographed building in Derby, due to its gorgeous ornate faade. Any day of the week you will see tourists stopped out the front taking photographs of this charming and historic building. Such is its fame, it even has its own Facebook page!
This versatile property features five large bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, PLUS a Main Street retail space; previously the bank. This gorgeous space still has the original bank counter, stunning timber vaulted ceilings and is ready for a new lease of life. Zoned Village you are limited only by your imagination here so you could potentially fling open its doors and operate as a shop, restaurant, bakery, tour base, or just make the property 6 bedrooms (all STCA).
In the garden is a second structure (a shed) which has power connected and windows, and would lend itself to further accommodation conversion (STCA). A second garden shed will accommodate bikes.
The residence is packed with character features, tall ceilings, stunning fireplaces, a sweeping staircase and exposed brickwork and stone work. The property comes complete with the old safe and change drawers… how’s that for history? Only just completely stripped back and repainted in its traditional heritage colours, the old girl is in tip top shape.
Sitting on of 1012m2 of land made up of sprawling private gardens and an orchard of various fruit trees you have all the convenience of Main Street hustle and bustle combined with the most surprising sanctuary in Derby.
Derby is home to the Blue Derby Trails which is widely recognised as Australia’s mountain biking capital, confirmed by the returning Enduro World Series (EWS) to be held next month.
Derby is 34 km from Scottsdale and 95 km to Launceston. According to local Council (Dorset) who track visitor numbers, 30,000 visitors rode the trails last year and approximately 50,000 are expected this year. Tourism is booming in NE Tasmania with Internationally ranked Barnbougle and Lost Farm Golf courses, wineries and of course MTB trails on our doorstep.
Retail space is as rare as hen’s teeth in Derby and of course there is only one Derby Bank. As always in Derby, first in best dressed.
