Districts View
No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
TASPlanning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $579/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.
Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.
Verdict
Districts view
Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.
Detail
The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”
Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.
The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.
Evidence
Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

Listing material
Listed by Peterswald for PropertyIf only the walls could talk... the stories they could tell.
This gorgeous Georgian cottage c1820, was at the forefront of Hobart's maritime boom and remains one of Battery Point's oldest houses, pre-dating almost all of its surroundings, and even having housed five generations of one family.
For the current owners, this significant cottage represents everything that historic Battery Points stands for - and is to be cherished. 'Miller's Cottage' originally built as a humble workman's hut, was later purchased by renown miller and businessman James Cowgill. Hobart at that time was a thriving whaling town with notable landmarks such as Salamanca's sandstone warehouses, Kelly Steps as well as St Georges Anglican Church, all icons that 31 Cromwell pre-dates.
One particular icon, though now demolished, was Luckman Mill and was built by James Luckman directly behind this home. This mill was eventually purchased by James Cowgill, however it was retired in 1890. During the demolition of the mill, the convict bricks of the main structure were repurposed and fashioned into what is now the left hand side wall at the rear of the home.
At street frontage, one is met with the beauty of the cottage's quaint verandah and picket fence reflecting the character and charm of its era. Hand carved 200 year old timber boards and original penal colony convict bricks feature inside and play an integral part in retaining the historical significance of this home which has only recently undergone a carefully considered restoration, renovation and upgrade.
A contemporary yet classic style kitchen flows effortlessly through to the dining and outdoor entertainment spaces, forming what is essentially the social hub of the home.
This fusion between original leadlight as well as modern glass windows has perfectly complimented this home, certainly enhancing the view out to the courtyard and its accompanying verdant garden.
Towards the rear of the home, an additional and new second storey awaits casting views across to the River Derwent, as well as the iconic rooftops of the surrounding area. Today, the property stands as one of Battery Point and Hobart's finest examples of what life was like for the residence of Old Hobart Town.
On offer is an incredible opportunity to secure one of Tasmania's most historic and earliest residential dwellings. Register your interest via the platforms provided below.
