If you like living away from all the hustle and bustle of a town centre location, consider 10 Hatton Street. It’s about 2km from Northam’s main shopping area and has a semi rural feel as many of the neighbouring lots are vacant. There are views of imposing Mount Ommanney just 1km away.

The property is set well back from the main road, two of its boundaries have access from a minor road or lane and the 4th side of the block adjoins a vacant lot that is currently for sale. Imagine buying the block next door too and expanding your total land holding from 1229m2 to over half an acre!

As the hot afternoon sun sets in the West a nearby 100 year old pine tree casts its cooling shadow over the house and in winter a small water course begins to run through the bottom corner of the block.

Lots of renovations have taken place to the 100 year old cottage and now it’s a very comfy home for a small family. There are hard to notice jobs like electrical wiring, plumbing and plaster recladding and obvious work such as the master bedroom which features an ensuite bathroom with shower separate from the tub, built-in robes and a small sewing room or parents study adjoining.

There are 2 other bedrooms – one with built-in robe – and a main bathroom where the shower recess doesn’t have a hob to step over – great for elderly folks with achy hips or knees. A formal lounge at the front of the house is separate from the open plan kitchen/meals/family at the rear of the house. This area features a wall recessed cabinet for wide screen TV, air conditioner and doors out to the rear Zincalume covered timber deck.

A detached lockup 6 x 6m garage with Tiltadoor and power is easily accessible by walking across the front verandah.
