Cottage on city-fringe lot | Rear lane workshop | Mixed-use zoning | Redevelopment-ready DA This property presents a rare combination of a freestanding cottage with rear lane access on a mixed-use lot within walking distance of Green Square. The existing layout is functional but modest; the real value lies in the approved development application for a two-storey residence with a studio and cafe frontage. For a buyer willing to manage a construction project, this offers a path to a significantly higher-value property in a high-demand corridor. It is best suited to an owner-occupier developer or a small-scale investor seeking to build equity through active improvement. The primary risk is that the current one-bedroom house is small and dated, and its value as a standalone residence is limited. The property has been withdrawn from market previously, which may indicate price sensitivity or buyer hesitation. However, the approved DA removes much of the uncertainty around redevelopment potential, and the mixed-use zoning provides flexibility that few nearby houses offer. The absence of heritage or flood overlays further simplifies the path to upgrading. For a buyer with clear plans and realistic costings, the opportunity to create a modern home with income-generating commercial space is compelling.
