Auction Sale - 05/10/2021

Description
The site for sale extends to approx. 0.94 acres (0.38 ha) and comprises Custom House and an adjacent car parking area. Custom House’s main accommodation comprises three storeys and was originally designed in a neo-classical style, constructed in sandstone with Greek Revival detailing between 1842 and 1843. The building was twice extended to the south. In the 1880’s a three storey rectangular wing was formed from the south east corner of the original building while in the 1930’s a single story extension to this wing was completed. Existing floorplans of the full property and a Heritage Statement providing a detailed context of the building are available from the selling agent.
