A Tardis-esque townhouse in regional Victoria is for sale with a $310,000-$341,000 asking range.

The one-bedroom home is located at 51 Leahys Lane, Timboon — a town on the 12 Apostles Gourmet Food Trail that’s known for its artisanal food offerings, music festivals and the nearby Port Campbell National Park.

Set on a 714sq m, the residence was created by the Melbourne-based prefabricated modular abode designer and builder Anchor Homes.

Ray White Rural Timboon principal Gerard Delaney said the “funky” home was like Dr Who’s famous time-travelling Tardis because it appeared larger on the inside than the exterior would suggest.

“It does lend itself to a single person, a couple, short-term stay or an investor,” Mr Delaney said.

The living and dining area features fuel heating and a split system, while the kitchen is fitted with grey subway tiles and a pantry.

The deck has plenty of space for eating, entertaining or enjoying the fresh air.


Block-out blinds, a glass sliding door with a custom-built retractable screen door, an office space and bedroom with two built-in wardrobes are among the other highlights.

The laundry opens to the garden that showcases a deck, shed, water tank and wood storage box, and there’s even a solar system.

Mr Delaney said the owner had asked Anchor Homes to modify one of their usual two-bedroom designs into a one-bedroom abode.

“It’s on a beautiful block and is right next to the hospital and school,” he added.

There’s two built-in wardrobes and direct access to the backyard, via a sliding door, in the bedroom.


Pending council approval, another home could be installed on the block or even a pool.

“You could jump straight from the deck into the pool,” Mr Delaney said.

In 2024, Timboon won the ‘Top Tiny Tourism Town’ category in the Victoria Tourism Industry Council’s annual awards.

The area triumphed over other towns with a population of 1500 residents or less, including Arthurs Seat, Dookie, Koondrook and Trawool.

“This the new Daylesford, it’s going off,” Mr Delaney said.

The townhouse will be auctioned at 3pm on May 10.
