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.

About the host
Hosted by Jocelin
We are urban folks with a country heart. Having a home in the heart of Horse Country in the Upper Hunter is the dream come true. We spend a lot of time there and when we aren't, we like to share it.

What makes this property unique
This is our home, and it is your home away from home. We call it a shack, because it reminds us of a beach shack that you could find at Blueys Beach, but it's here, in Scone. You won't see many others like it. But you will find snacks in the fridge and books on the shelf to read. The house has plenty of spaces to sit and relax or get out and enjoy the garden. It is close to town, you can walk from the train, so you will hear the train. But you probably wouldn't come to the Upper Hunter without a car. If you have never been before, have a look at some of the places we love.
