I’ve dropped my asking price by $10 000 from the initial $169 000 hoping that someone will find me an attractive buy.

I want somebody to love me. I’m a little brick/weatherboard and iron cottage that’s shared some fun family times in years gone by. But now my family have grown up and left me and I’m tired and lonely. I want somebody to love me again.

I have verandahs on 3 sides, an entrance hall, 2 bedrooms, lounge with open fire place, dining room, long kitchen with gas and Metters wood burning stoves, instantaneous gas hot water unit and carport. The electrical connection is new with RCDs and a smoke alarm.

There’s some lovely pressed tin ceilings and walls in the bedrooms.

I sit on a double block of land totalling 1 833m2 with a variety of trees and lots of open space in a very secluded and peaceful part of Northam overlooking the natural, undisturbed upstream section of the Avon River yet I’m only 2.5km from Northam’s town centre. The vacant 944m2 block of land next door to me is also for sale for $67 000 if you want to expand.

I’m not for the faint hearted though as I need a little more than a quick makeover to make me ready for my next occupant.
