Built in 1837, with extensions in 1846, this heritage listed, solid sandstone residence is one of the oldest properties in West Hobart. There are 2 separate buildings attached to the site and it was originally known as 10 New Street. The rear building is a 3 roomed brick cottage and was thought to have been the original maid’s quarters. It still has the original “Copper” in place. Some time around the turn of the 18th century the street was renamed to Cane St and the whole property took on the address of 12 Cane Street. Originally named “Kinrara” but this was changed to “Wallfield” after it was last purchased 72 years ago.
The property requires upgrading but is in very sound original condition and has stood the test of time for the last 173 years. There is dual access from Cane Street as well as Hugo’s Lane at the rear. The home is essentially comprised of 3 bedrooms, formal living room, formal dining, informal sitting room, large eat-in kitchen/family room, small utiltity room and bathroom. The residence has excellent original features including extensive use of cedar timberwork.

The rear cottage has 3 independent rooms and, whilst in need of upgrading, would be ideal as a studio or home office. The rear yard has a garage and a separate powered workshop. There is a single carport accessed from the Cane St entrance and there is very good potential for developing driveway access from Hugo’s Lane at the rear.

Whilst the property appears to be in very sound original condition and does require refurbishing throughout, the wiring has been upgraded. This home would be ideal for serious renovators looking for a project and would appreciate considerably once completed.

An excellent opportunity to acquire a significant piece of West Hobart heritage.
