About this property

Philomena's 60s Shack in Scone, a cozy retreat in the Horse Capital of NSW.

  • You will enjoy easy access to town from this centrally located home. Walking distance to the train station, Kelly Street, Woolworths and the local 50m swimming pool.

    A large living room with two sofas, two queen bedrooms and a west facing study with two desks. Off the full kitchen is a sunroom looking over an established north facing 40-year-old garden. At the front of the house is a deck to watch the sunsets.

    It’s like stepping back in time, with original 60s features and mid-century furnishings. Both bedrooms have reading lamps and large side tables for your book and cup of tea. Snuggled in the floral sheets, you will feel like you are spending the night at Nonna's.

Well appointed, although the tv aerial could be connected for those of us who would like to watch free to air channels. Apart from that very cosy and homely.
