What's around 39 Bishop Street

Historical homestead close to Cornelian Bay

Built in the 1880s, this beautifully proportioned home was originally the centre of a thriving orchard, and along with other substantial dwellings in the area, indicates the prosperity of Hobart as it spread north along the River Derwent. With its wide verandas, bay windows, and attractive gardens with classic box hedges lining the pathways, it is one of the prettiest properties in the area, and is a fine example of colonial architecture mixing late Georgian and Victorian styles. The front door with its original doorbell, surrounding leadlight windows and nearby nameplate 'Landport' greets the visitor and opens onto a wide entrance hall, and two generously proportioned bedrooms on either side. Beyond the traditional Victorian archway defining the front of the house can be found stairs leading up to the three dormer bedrooms with views to Cornelian Bay and the Domain, while on the ground level are the family living areas. A spacious, modern bathroom with stylish quality fittings is adjacent to the master bedroom, whilst a dining room, and comfortable sitting room are also found on this level. A contemporary kitchen and dining area captures the sun for much of the day and is an ideal family living space. A second bathroom, mud room, laundry and storage areas are located towards the rear of the dwelling. Set on 0.1763 hectares (1,763 square metres) of land, this property has so much potential. At present a large double carport with an extension at the back can house three cars, while an adjoining shed is well utilised as a workshop/studio. Further down the block can be found the original stables, currently used for storage but in the past, it has served as a well-used area for under-cover recreation. Beyond the stables is an extensive lawned area, suitable for a tennis court or swimming pool or, subject to Council approval, a subdivision of the land with dual access from the existing driveway. The property is in a popular, well-established Hobart suburb with many facilities nearby: cafés, restaurants, medical practices, hospital and supermarkets. Both public and private schools are within a 2 km radius, as are a number of sporting fields and facilities, including the world class Tasmanian Hockey Centre and the Hobart Domain. With the bike and walking track that follows the old railway line at the bottom of the street, and delightful walks close by along the Derwent River, this property is definitely nestled into a most sought-after area of New Town.

So helpful, friendly and professional

We are delighted to provide a review for Georgie, as every interaction with her from booking an inspection to signing the contract was as easy and pleasant as could be. She went out of her way to make sure she had all the answers to our (many!) enquiries and was totally transparent yet professional when the bidding process began. In more than twelve months of house hunting and embarking on attempts to purchase other houses, she is certainly the best agent we have encountered. Thank you again, Georgie!

New Town, Hobart

It has been a great pleasure working with Georgie on the sale of our home. We placed our trust in her and found her enthusiasm and fresh ideas showed confidence and a vitality which was infective. Georgie was always on hand ready to answer any querie we had and she gave sound professional advice. We can not thank her enough for her smooth management of the sale of our home and we highly recommend her .
