    I think I’ve found my example property to use for my sustainable design project. Still not sure if I will use this or plan a new build for the project, but it’s a start.

      Lovely little place… I have a fantasy where I buy a regional Victorian place and use it as a holiday house and eventually retire there. This is the kind of place I would almost select. My fantasy requires an old combustion stove (still operational) in the kitchen and functional fireplaces, plus solar panels, electric appliances, vegetable garden and water tanks. As I said, a complete fantasy!

        That sounds pretty much the plan (in fantasy, I can’t actually afford it!). The biggest issue is that is the heritage overlay, so some things would have to be done quite carefully to be allowed. But I think everything I want is achievable there, it is within walking distance to everything and opposite the botanic gardens. I’m a bit sad I don’t have the money ☹️
