What should you know about this lot before spending serious money?

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,600,000 (17 June 2021).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Battery Point (last 5 years) with land size: median $5,155/m² of land (n=13). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

What could make it worth less?

No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.

What should you verify next?

  1. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No hazard layer has been retrieved — confirm flood, bushfire and heritage exposure from council mapping before an offer.

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.

Capital growth

TAS

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Planning 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.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

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.

What competition will it face?

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.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

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

What this means for this property

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

What is known for this property

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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    Development applications have not been queried for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

'Millers Cottage' 1820s charm and history

If 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.

Read the full description

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.
