In 1935, a half-crown lottery ticket became something far greater than a lucky win. Its prize money funded this distinctive home, designed by local architect Billy Thomas and known as the “Two and Sixpence” or “Half Crown House”. Set in Tinwald, its brick and weatherboard exterior, dormer windows and 152m² floor area sit within a remarkable 3,035m² section, with a story worth passing on.
Timber doors and a fine staircase introduce interiors full of personality. A light-filled living room with bay windows is an inviting spot for morning coffee, while the second living room features exposed ceiling beams and a fireplace, creating a cosy place to settle in after work. A heat pump in the entrance hall adds everyday comfort. The kitchen offers plentiful cupboards and garden outlooks, with an adjoining dining area for shared meals.
The three bedrooms offer restful corners of their own, with lovely natural light and glimpses of the greenery outdoors. Upstairs, dormer-style windows and the timber stairwell add to the home's period character. Two bathrooms, both with showers, keep mornings moving and extra storage is another welcome detail. It is a layout with a sense of the past, yet plenty to enjoy day to day.
Beyond the house, a timber deck and paved terrace offer places to eat outdoors or sit with a book. Sweeping lawns, clipped hedges, flowering garden beds and mature trees bring a real sense of retreat, with room for outdoor games and keen gardeners alike. A single garage, off-street parking and a garden shed round out the grounds.
The roof will be painted by settlement
