The artist David Bromley and his partner, Yuge Yu, have adjusted price expectations on their current Byron Bay abode on the the NSW north coast.

Bromley, one of Australia's most prolific artists, and Yu, a fashion designer, have cut the asking price on the Jonson Street property from $1.55 million to $1.4 million.

The couple's home and studio is on the market, with the couple planning to move to semi-rural acreage just outside Byron Bay.

It's a 1,012-square-metre Jonson Street property, a five-minute walk from the beach, designed for indoor/outdoor living, with shaded timber decking, a courtyard and leafy gardens.

The original three-bedroom cottage comes with outbuildings that allow for, all up, five bedrooms. There is commercial zoning.

It's been listed by Jamie Marshall and Mary O'Connor of Bangalow Real Estate, in conjunction with Ray White agent Lloyd Lawton.

The property is being offer with painted murals in the courtyard, on the side of the house, in two bedrooms and in the living area.

In its backyard, there’s a vintage AirStream caravan with a deck and Japanese hot tub, and a Studebaker ute decked out with tropical plants.

It’s priced at $1.4 million.

The property was bought by Bromley's former partner of 17 years,  Tori Dixon-Whittle, who paid $1.15 million in 2007. Dixon-Whittle and their three children now live in Vietnam.
