| ‘Plas Newydd’ (circa 1834)This unique and gracious historic home was convict
built of sandstone and fieldstone for the Assistant Police Magistrate Lt.
Alexander MacKenzie in 1834. In 1850’s Charles and Louisa Meredith, well known
early Tasmanian authoress and artist, purchased the property, extended it and
named it ‘Plas Newydd’ (New Home) after a stately home in Wales.
The house was later used as a Church of England Rectory for 85 years and for the
past 20+ years has been used as a private residence. Beautifully restored to
combine comfortable modern living with the elegance and grandeur of a bygone
era, the home stands on a large block of 1674sqm. The property is centrally
situated in the historic seaside township of Swansea, population about 650, and
centre of the oldest rural municipality in Australia. Swansea is situated on the
east coast of Tasmania approx. 1 ˝ hours from Hobart and Launceston
Carpeted throughout with a touch of exposed floorboards in the main
thoroughfares, it has a magnific reception or Drawing Room and huge Sitting Room
(Formal Lounge) with white marble fireplace mantle for the back-to-back
fireplaces. Both of these rooms have unusual 12 foot high timber panelled
ceilings, 15-inch skirtings and huge wood panelled windows with views over the
garden and Great Oyster Bay.
There is a large country kitchen with original stonework open ‘Franklin’
fireplace; 3 double bedrooms – two with open fires; and a study or dining room.
The bathroom is tiled Victorian style with a claw foot bath, antique shower
surround and gold leave toilet bowl. A sunroom sits at the end of the huge
veranda at the front, and at the back, a laundry (with 2nd toilet), and back
porch area has been restored in keeping with the building with slimline blinds
to ensure privacy. A single carport is adjacent to laundry/back entry.
With it’s location, heritage and charm it has the potential to be that an
awesome home or business you have always dreamt of. Possibilities include: Bed &
Breakfast; Restaurant/Cafe; Function Centre; Gallery, Garden Weddings. (Subject

The garden has been striped back due to overgrowth, though some original larger
trees, fruit trees and lavender remain, now ready to rebuild, a Designed Garden
Plan is included.
With the large block of 1674sqm and the possibility of purchasing a shared
boundary block of 833sqm (subdivision already approved and to retained by the
