"The formal living room for mine was a clear highlight - this is very special room.

"35 Broadway is a unique offering and it is sure to attract good interest. The original home has been well kept, and features a plethora of original fine period details; Rear extension looks to be about 30 years old and has been faithfully executed - while roofline is maintained ceiling heights seem to be lowered - an obvious improvement here would be to raise these and of course the rear open plan living area is due for upgrade work.

Fundamentals of blocks size, rear orientation, backyard privacy and overall position are excellent and a real key to the success .

"Obvious weakness (given the overall offering and the price-point ) is car access - while the garage is a good size at the rear (and it incorporates a cosy workshop, powder-room and store), access to it via a cobbled laneway off Loch Street is somewhat narrow and using this on a regular basis could prove a nuisance."
