James Home Rating: 738 | Grade B | August 2026
Pretty as a picture, this is a renovated Edwardian cottage with plenty going for it.
Renovated around a decade ago, the home has good bones and a floorplan that works well. It feels a little tired today, particularly with the property currently tenanted, but there is no major reworking required. A little polish could bring it back to its best.
The north-facing rear is a genuine positive, as is the undercover off-street parking for one car.
The location adds plenty to the proposition. You can walk to Bay Street and the beach, while New Street is also nearby, bringing some local traffic and background noise into the equation.
The buyer profile is broad. A couple, small family or downsizer could all see this working, depending on their priorities.
Ultimately, the home itself is fairly straightforward. The bigger question is what the market is prepared to pay for the combination of character, location, parking and a home that needs a little freshening up.
The buying strategy will be important.
