Timeless Bathurst Treasure, a Story Still Being Written

A rich history that commenced in 1874, this remarkable Victorian residence forms one half of the original Esmond Place-a distinguished pair of homes designed by respected colonial architect Joseph Backhouse during one of Bathurst's most prosperous and influential eras.

More than 150 years later, 155 Rocket Street continues to tell its story. Rich in character, warmth and history, it now presents an exciting opportunity for a new custodian to honor its past while shaping its future.

Occupying an exceptional 1,000sqm (approx.) parcel of land, the home is immediately comfortable and entirely livable, while still offering outstanding scope to further enhance, renovate and add value over time. Much of the hard work has already been done, allowing the next owner to move in, enjoy the home and thoughtfully complete its next chapter at their own pace.

The flexible floorplan currently offers three generous bedrooms, a full family bathroom, plus the convenience of a second toilet on the ground floor. Character features remain throughout, while the home's elevated position rewards you with spectacular views across Bathurst from the upstairs verandah-the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee, evening drink or simply watch the seasons change. Those same sweeping vistas extend into sections of the generous backyard, creating a wonderful sense of space and connection to the surrounding landscape.

One of the property's greatest assets is its outstanding versatility. Wide side access provides excellent vehicle access to the expansive rear yard, opening the door to countless possibilities. Whether your vision includes substantial shedding, additional garaging, landscaped gardens, outdoor entertaining spaces, or (subject to the necessary approvals) future development opportunities, the space is here to bring those ideas to life.

- 3 large bedrooms on the upper floor with an option to create a ground floor bedroom
- renovated bathroom upstairs, while fireplaces and balconies are partially completed
- high ceilings throughout, refurbished ground floor fireplaces, full sub-floor access for further renovation access
- multiple sheds for workshop or storage use
- enormous yard space that extends approx 50m beyond the last shed building, just imagine the gardens, kids playground or entertaining areas

Homes of this calibre and history rarely become available. Combining genuine Victorian heritage, an enviable central location, breathtaking outlooks and exceptional future potential, 155 Rocket Street is far more than simply a home-it is an opportunity to become part of Bathurst's enduring story while creating a legacy of your own.
