288 William Street, Bathurst NSW 2795

large block near CBD | flexible floorplan with study and chapel | premium finish above local median | strong school catchment appeal This property sits well above the typical Bathurst four-bedroom offering, with its 2,459 m² land parcel and three bathrooms creating a rare configuration in a central location. For a buyer seeking space for extended family or future subdivision potential, the land size alone positions this house as a competitive holding. The flexible layout—including a separate study and sitting room—broadens its appeal to professionals or those needing home-office separation, while proximity to multiple schools strengthens its long-term resale audience. The premium asking price reflects genuine differentiation rather than market froth. The primary risk here is the price gap relative to the local median; this property serves a narrower buyer pool, which may extend days on market. However, that same positioning insulates it from direct competition with typical family homes. The 2020 sale provides a known cost base, but without recent comparable sales above $1.5 million on similarly sized blocks, valuation relies on the land premium. For a buyer who values character, space, and central access over turnkey condition, the opportunity lies in negotiating from a position of low immediate competition—few properties of this scale and configuration are currently available in Bathurst’s core.
