For residents and passers-by, the old Church and Sunday School in pastoral Glengarry have long since been a local landmark. The bucolic setting is enticing, peaceful and welcoming, and since the Spring of 1887 this quaint weatherboard construct and the adjacent Sunday School building (now called the “White Cabin”) has seen use as a place for quiet reflection, learning and celebration; as a haven for creatives (it was once an art gallery and studio); and as a place of rest and rejuvenation.
You are warmly welcomed to inspect the “Old White Church Bed and Breakfast” and explore the many possibilities this unique property offers the discerning and 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 and lovers of history will fall in love with the crisply-white picket fence, the shade-giving foliage of a venerable oak, and the delightfully rural vista of eucalypts, lush pasture and 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 and gastronomic delights. Shops and services are handily close-by in the village of Exeter (just 7 minutes by car), and 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 (and operational!) church bell atop the pitched roof.
-The shiplap-style wall and ceiling lining that imparts the characterful dwelling with magazine-worthy country charm.
-Arched windows and entry door; restored floor boards; and 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 and insulation, and a Scandia pellet fire.
-The kitchen is well-appointed with granite benchtops, a high-performance Belling oven and cooktop, deep farmhouse sink, an integrated Miele dishwasher and pressed metal splashback.
-The bathroom has been executed to a similarly high standard with designer tiles, double walk-in shower, claw-foot bath and quality tapware.

“The White Cabin”:
-Separate from the Church, the White Cabin offers comfortable, self-contained studio accommodation complemented by an amply-sized and sunny deck. Crisp, white and awash with natural light, the open-plan space is generously proportioned and more than adequate for guests who stay a little, or a long while. A store room with separate access boasts a toilet, hand basin and 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.
