Built in 1886, the Gothic sandstone home looks like Hansel and Gretel could be found meandering through its halls.
Parry Property property representative Deb Pickett-Beamish said locals affectionately knew 2 Cimitiere Street as ‘the Gingerbread House’.
“That’s what we’ve always called it,” she said.
While it needed a bit of love to restore it to its former glory, the house was an “extraordinary” find, Mrs Pickett-Beamish said.
The four-bedroom property has a sweeping staircase and Baltic pine floorboards.
“These properties aren’t replaceable.”
It would make a stunning residence or, with council approval, it could be transformed into a beautiful restaurant or office for the right buyer, Mrs Pickett-Beamish said.
“It’s just a special property.”
The property was back on the market after Mrs Pickett-Beamish sold it in 2013.
