1914 Train Carriage - Tiny Home in Perth Hills

This 1914 WAGR built Guards Van, sits near the old railway line in farm and bushland of Wooroloo, which is now the popular KEP track for walkers and cyclists. Cute and careful rebuild creates this charming tiny home for 1 or 2 travelling light. Wooroloo is 35 minutes central to Northam, York, Toodyay and Midland, and 10 minutes from Lake Leschenaltia. Sits alongside the old post office on a garden and bush acre. In season flowing water trickles by into a winter creek. Modern, and heritage. The space 2 X 11m cosy space has a divided bedroom and sitting area, separate bathroom/toilet and separate kitchen, outside covered verandah. Environmentally sensitive build and fitout. Access and use of 1 acre garden and bush property with winter creek trickling by. On the main village road which is popular with car clubs and cyclists on some Sundays. WIFI but NO TELEVISION Access must consider, a narrow bathroom doorway of 40cm, and there are odd steps. Runs on low power still providing enough to cook, wash and keep warm or cool, but not all appliances can be used at once (like kettle and toaster while the air cooler is on) RCD fuses are handy in the kitchen if it needs resetting, capacity like a caravan. Hot shower water will last 4-5 minutes. Reheats in 20 minutes. A modern separating toilet is in place. These keep liquid and solid waste divided, which largely eliminates smell and is environmentally friendly. Everyone must sit down to use. A standard water flushing toilet is also available outside, 25m across the yard. Park right next to the carriage. This renovated 1914 train carriage was once a working guards (or brake) van, sitting at the end of the train, servicing the rail line that once came through Wooroloo. These are a little narrower than usual train carriages, allowing for the window boxes that extruded out for the guards to peek down the line. Now a cosy tiny home for one or two.
