James Home Rating: 596 | Grade B | October 2026
A four-bedroom period home with its original features looking their best. Move-in ready, with enough scope to improve over time.
The rear faces south, but the extension uses highlight windows to bring northern light through. It works, although the extension is starting to show its age.
The kids’ bedrooms are a little tight. Something to think about longer term, but nothing that needs to be tackled immediately.
Parking is the compromise. A long, narrow driveway leads to a rear garage, with no real covered parking. Other homes in the street have added front carports, so there may be a solution.
The big bonus is Kamesburgh Gardens directly across the road. That open space adds something you cannot manufacture on your own block.
A practical family home with period character, a few compromises and room to improve. The location does a lot of the work here.
