Fancy A Central Block?

Description

Looking for a vacant residential building block in the central part of Northam’s townsite? Checkout No 43 Weld Street.

It’s only 300m to the start of Weld Street, at the intersection of Broome Terrace that runs parallel to the Avon River’s foreshore with its pretty park, walkway, barbecue facilities and suspension bridge over the river to the town’s main street.

It’s only 30m to the end of Weld Street, to the intersection of Forrest Street and another 70m along to Howlett’s Liquor & General Store or a little bit further along to the Avon Spice Cafe for some delicious Indian cuisine.

What about heading the opposite direction in Forrest Street and popping around the corner into Hampton Street to walk up the the gates of Northam Senior High School? It’s less than 300m from home.

The property has a 15m frontage, depth of about 66m and an area of 1,012sqm. In theory the R30 zoning should support a 3 unit development (subject to WAPC approval and compliance with the R-codes).

Maybe you’re not into multi-lot development and you simply want a good old fashioned large quarter acre block to grow veggies, fruit trees, shsade trees, an expanse of lawn behind your new home, a garage or workshop to tinker in, room for pool or your two dogs or space for the kids to kick the footy… ? Endless opportunities.

Circa 1900 there was a weatherboard and iron cottage contructed on the land but in this day and age it was no longer fit for purpose and was demolished. Who knows… if you dig around in the dirt you might find some Spanish Doubloons - just joking of course but I wonder if there might be an old florin, shilling or pence coin that slipped through the floor boards of where the house once stood ?!?
