1 York Street, Singleton NSW 2330

You know the adage, “never judge a book by its cover”?
This terrific property is the perfect illustration of that.


The location is fabulous. Conveniently close to Singleton’s town centre, it is an easy walk to shops and cafes. Set on a large (828.3 sqm) level block, there is plenty of space for off-street parking. It is fair to say the exterior of the brick and weatherboard house is something of a rough diamond that would benefit from a bit of a polish.

Step inside, however, and it’s another story. All the hard work has been done. A recent renovation has created a fresh, contemporary interior, with plantation shutters, floating timber floors, stylish dove grey walls, and crisp white trim, highlighting the pretty,1940s-era, cornices and ceiling detail. Other period features include elegant sash windows, picture rails, and wonderfully lofty ceilings. All three bedrooms are spacious and have ceiling fans fitted. Assisting the fans are four split system air-conditioners fitted through the house. The gleaming bathroom is chic and modern, with dark grey floor tiles, glossy, white-tiled walls and a large rain shower head. A second toilet is located outside the house.

With its timber cupboards and blue and white tiled splashback, the kitchen is an appealing room. An original brick wall with a recess that once held a wood-fired range now accommodates a freestanding modern oven with electric cooktop. The main living room is next to the kitchen, at the centre of the home.

Outside, the yard is dotted with mature shrubs and trees, including a beautiful flowering frangipani, and the perimeter of the property is neatly fenced.

This property is a rare find and there is a lot to love here. Ready to move into now, the new owners will have the advantage of being able to live in comfort while restoring the exterior at leisure.
