A Golden Opportunity

TO drive along the main street of Tarnagulla is to drive through a town steeped in history. It's a reminder of the goldrush when thousands flocked to the area hoping to make their fortune. Once again, Tarnagulla is a magnet for people in search of a more relaxed lifestyle.
Selling as one lot, is this three-bedroom house and adjoining shop, both heritage-listed, with allotments either side. There is 3 allotments.
The house has a cast- iron lace verandah. Inside the very liveable home are Baltic pine floors and high, painted pine ceilings. Two bedrooms are at the front. Two steps up is a large kitchen dining area with a Scandia stove, a wall oven and bench hotplates.
Step across a passage into the double brick shop, once The Tarnagulla Soda Water, Lemonade, Ginger Beer and Cordial Manufactory, flooded with wonderful natural light.
Behind the shop is an amazing lounge room with an exposed brick wall, where the owner discovered a high ceiling finished with impressive cornices when he removed the false ceiling. Either side of the fireplace, with a solid fuel heater, are stained glass doors leading to a cosy room with a sloping ceiling, skylight and a built-in brick bar; a lovely space to have drinks.
Past the kitchen a third bedroom is followed by a laundry with new porcelain-tiled floor and white tiled walls. The porcelain tiles continue into a recently renovated four-piece bathroom, a stunning space.
Apple, walnut and plum trees are dotted across the three allotments and some garden restoration would considerably enhance the house block.
You could build a shed/studio, even a house, STCA, on one of the blocks. One allotment has a 6 x 6-metre shed with concrete floor and a 3 x 3-metre garden shed. Rear access to all blocks is via a laneway.
