With the arrival of the motor car, a fuel and service station was added. These historic buildings sitting on 0.3 acres of secluded courtyard and gardens to the rear are now offered for sale through Casey Kennedy Estate Agents in association with international marketing partners Coldwell Banker.

The main residence is a 242 sqm., 5 bed, Victorian three-bay, two-storey, gable-ended house built in the Regency style which was the height of fashion at that time. Original architectural elements include a doorway with arched light, architraved, segmental- headed sash windows, and decorative raised quoins. It has a traditional, timber shopfront built out from the façade. This shopfront is a protected structure. Behind the shopfront is a spacious lounge currently used as a large entertaining space within the family home. There is obvious potential to use this space for an art gallery or destination store by an established artiste - alongside the attractive 5 bed family home. Additional downstairs accommodation includes an entrance hall, a formal drawing room, and a large extended kitchen/dining/living area opening to the rear courtyard. Off which is a utility/boot room and a downstairs shower room. Upstairs there are five bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The additional 105 sqm. of outbuildings would be ideal as workshop space(s) with possibilities for use for other commercial or residential purposes subject to PP if required.These extend behind the two petrol pumps, dating from circa 1950, giving this property a unique street presence and appeal.

To the rear, with vehicular access through double gates between the two buildings, is a secluded and sunny inner courtyard with a large gazebo and sun patio ideal for entertaining. Behind that is a spacious green area with fruit trees and attractive planting. With a total land area of about 0.3 acres there is plenty of private recreational space.
