A rare opportunity to own a Beautiful Heritage Site
Bleak House in Bathurst is a provincial heritage site originally built for Lt. Alexander Bisset and restored by Brigadier Nauhaus in 1883. It was later occupied by Gen. Sir Jon Bisset. The home was built as a single storey fortified dwelling in 1825 for the Frontier Wars at the time but expanded to a second storey in the late 1800s and early 1900s. An exquisite old Settlers Home, the stone walls, gunnels and original beautiful yellow wood floors are testimony to its origin.
The large property of 1409 square metres houses a second dwelling which was built much later and can be used as a two-bedroom house, or two one bedroom cottages. Ideal to live in if the original home is to be used as a business premises, or to let out as an additional income. The building has been used as a restaurant previously, and is zoned Commercial.
The old stone building with its slate roof and wrap-around verandah has two bedrooms, a bathroom, ablutions, kitchen, dining room and lounge with a welcoming fireplace.
Entrance to the property is on Trappes Street as well as York Road, making it convenient to rent out one of the properties as each have a separate entrance.
To make this one-of-a-kind historical gem your own, please call the agent to arrange an appointment.
