For residents & passers-by, the old Church & Sunday School in pastoral Glengarry have long since been a local landmark. The bucolic setting is enticing, peaceful & welcoming, & since the Spring of 1887 this quaint weatherboard construct & the adjacent Sunday School building (now called the "White Cabin") has seen use as a place for quiet reflection, learning & celebration; as a haven for creatives (it was once an art gallery & studio); & as a place of rest & rejuvenation.
You are warmly welcomed to inspect the "Old White Church Bed & Breakfast" & explore the many possibilities this unique property offers the discerning & enterprising buyer.
The options are aplenty - currently both dwellings are used as Airbnb's although there is scope to live in one and run the other as visitor accommodation or a plethora of tourism ventures (STCA)
Set upon a gently sloping, generous plot of land, adherents of country-style & lovers of history will fall in love with the crisply-white picket fence, the shade-giving foliage of a venerable oak, & the delightfully rural vista of eucalypts, lush pasture & rolling hills.
The Old White Church is located in the heart of the picturesque West Tamar Valley on a popular tourist route, in a district famed for its boutique wineries & gastronomic delights. Shops & services are handily close-by in the village of Exeter (just 7 minutes by car), & the city of Launceston is a leisurely 30-minute drive away and Devonport 45 minutes.
Features you'll be sure to appreciate (in the Church) include:
-The original (& operational!) church bell atop the pitched roof.
-The shiplap-style wall & ceiling lining that imparts the characterful dwelling with magazine-worthy country charm.
-Arched windows & entry door; restored floor boards; & chic accent lighting with a touch of glam.
-A nod to the building's ecclesiastical past is evidenced in the form of the converted pulpit, now an oh-so-stylish design statement bedhead.
-21st century updates include: Yale Smart door locks, satellite NBN, rewiring & insulation, & a Scandia pellet fire.
-The kitchen is well-appointed with granite benchtops, a high-performance Belling oven & cooktop, deep farmhouse sink, an integrated Miele dishwasher & pressed metal splashback.
-The bathroom has been executed to a similarly high standard with designer tiles, double walk-in shower, claw-foot bath & quality tapware.
"The White Cabin":
-Separate from the Church, the White Cabin offers comfortable, self-contained studio accommodation complemented by an amply-sized & sunny deck. Crisp, white & awash with natural light, the open-plan space is generously proportioned & more than adequate for guests who stay a little, or a long while. A store room with separate access boasts a toilet, hand basin & storage cupboards.
Outside: the generous allotment provides plenty of space for enjoying the sunshine. Mostly laid to lawn, it's easy to look after too. There's more than enough off-street parking available, with room besides for a game of cricket or footy.
