It looks like a tiny Tassie shed from the outside, but inside it is a designer home

They say you should never judge a book by its cover and this property in Tasmania is a clear example.

With its corrugated iron, timber palings and gable roof, it’s easy to assume the structure at 5 Caveside Road in Mole Creek is a shed, but inside lies a designer home.

Agents Craig Beamish and Deb Pickett-Beamish of Nest Property Sandy Bay are accepting expressions of interest for the unique one-bedroom, one-bathroom abode

It’s described as the “perfect escape from your busy life” on the listing, and suited to a artist or writer that’s looking for a studio or weekend retreat away from the city.
