Property
Single fronted weatherboard house built around 1905 which had not been permanently lived in for several years prior to its sale in December 2004.
In mid 2004, the declining state of the house was highlighted when the cement render fell from the front below the roofline.
The current owners have plans to restore and extend the property.
