This historic sold brick dwelling, in the middle of the town, set on approx 1350m2, offers the new owner a huge range of possibilities. All it needs is your imagination [& chequebook]. Originally the “Bank of Australasia”, circa 1886, the building, plus the manager’s residence, cover approx. 20sqs.
The home has 3 good-sized bedrooms [ the main was the original bank chamber], 2 living areas, including a formal dining-room & separate lounge. The kitchen/meals area has a slow combustion oven, gas bench-top stove & electric oven. Three rev.cycle s/systems & 3 open fireplaces help ensure year-round comfort. Original pressed-metal ceilings, timber & slate flooring, 12′ ceilings, & bull-nose enclosed verandah, are a step back in time.There’s 2 sheds on the block – 1 approx. 3mx4m with conc. floor, & another workshop of approx. 6mx9m with conc. floor, power & plumbing. A well & tank help care for the garden & lawn. The home is on town water & sewer, & in walking distance to most amenities. The old bank part of the building is currently used as a hobby/craft shop, but could quite easily be used as an extra living/games/ theatre room with it’s own bar [ the strong room ], or converted to a ” granny flat “.
