49 Brooke Street

Inglewood VIC 3517

This 1864CC double fronted red brick shop has a rich Goldfields history and is located in the main street of Inglewood in the centre of the Golden Triangle. This red brick shop needs a full restoration. A new roof, new or repaired floors, rewiring plus plumbing. Consisting 7 rooms only the front two are serviceable presently although the whole building is being used as a weekender while the renovations continue (Sections of the floor need replacing or concreting). There is power, toilet connected to town sewerage, kitchen and rudimentary bathroom and town water supply.The block has a rear lane entrance, with a new sealed roadway, room for 4 cars in the yard that has large silky oak shade tree. The west brick wall needs repairing or rebuild. 'THE TREASURE' is the large 2 roomed cellar under the front 2 rooms. It has been used for 100 years plus to store and dispose of all types of goods and can now be excavated to find what treasures are still in the cellar. Perhaps gold from Captain Melville or Captain Starlight whom were local bushrangers of note, old furniture, pottery, bottles and homewares and lots of old rocks and clay. This is a real modern day treasure hunt with the reward being a prized double fronted shop and residence. After lots of renovating- a good retail site and residence. DO NOT DELAY
