Last Listing description (November 2020)
Positioned in the centre of the beautiful, historic town of Franklin on the Huon River, this property offers many possibilities. Built in 1860, the stone church is essentially original with the attached 1937 hall stylishly converted into a residence. Within the light-filled, airy church, the addition of post-modern accommodation lends an artistic quality. The combination of church and character-filled residence makes this property a uniquely beautiful yet practical proposition, rarely available.
Franklin is one of those rare towns that balances its sense of history and community sensitively with innovative new ventures. Zoned "Village", which encompasses business and residential uses, the location and space of the church is uniquely positioned to combine both. The church is currently operated as highly regarded Bed & Breakfast accommodation plus yoga studio. The refurbishment maintains the heritage integrity of the church, and the B&B has full Council approval. Guests remark on the sense of history, describing the space as both "restful and soulful", and "charming, contemporary and funky". In previous years it has been used as an art gallery, holding exhibitions, workshops, artists-in-residence, and even musical performances.
It comprises a spacious bathroom, kitchenette and dining space, with open mezzanine bedroom above, overlooking the river. A large fan-forced wood heater effectively warms the space, while the kitchen facilities provide capacity for event catering. The original wax sealed deed of title, in conservation framing, comes with the property.
The residence is filled with intriguing reminders of its past as a church hall, the wide hardwood floorboards still bearing the letters carved by children during Sunday school! The feature details are fascinating - solid arched doors with original locks and keys, stained glass windows, and intricate mosaic stairs. Warmed year round with a wood fire and substantial hydronic heating system, the creative conversion divides the living space with its cathedral ceiling into lounge, dining and study.
On a mezzanine floor is the master bedroom, with walk in robe. The spacious separate bathroom is charming, with full bath and English wallpaper. Even the 3rd toilet in the house comes with a story! The kitchen has had several lives, from hosting church service morning teas and girl-guide activities to rambling bathroom - the old medicine cabinet now housing spices. The room is filled with light and character, and includes European appliances. Timber bench tops offset a decorative mosaic floor and bi-fold French doors open to a deck and pergola inviting the garden and sunsets inside.
Directly across the main street is a park reserve leading to the banks of the Huon River. Nestled in Tasmania's orchard and southern wineries region, Franklin is a wonderfully community spirited village. It is home to the majestic Art Deco Palais Theatre, Wooden Boat Centre, Living Boat Trust, History Group, Landcare and Rowing Club, to name a few. Franklin is located 7 minutes south of the regional centre of Huonville, and the Hobart CBD is only a 40 minute picturesque drive away.
En route to iconic attractions including the Hartz Mountains, Tahune Airwalk, and Hastings Caves, the position and layout of this property lends itself to setting up a business, or simply a spacious home filled with character.
