19 Herbert St, Laura, SA 5480

Nestled in the heart of Laura, this unique stone residence offers a fascinating glimpse into the town's history. Formerly the local police station, constructed in the late 1800s and decommissioned in 1968, the property retains its historical charm while providing a versatile living space.

The main dwelling features a flexible floorplan, containing four bedrooms including a sleep-out located to the rear of the home. Polished floorboards flow seamlessly through the main living area, leading to a functional, neutral-toned kitchen equipped with an electric stove and stainless steel sink. Comfort is assured year-round with a split-system air conditioner in the living area, ceiling fans and a warming wood fire. The home also includes a well-appointed bathroom with a shower, bath, pedestal basin, and separate toilet, alongside a spacious laundry with built-in storage and a stainless steel wash trough.

Adding to the property's intrigue is a substantial stone outbuilding, a relic of its former purpose, housing two original jail cells—a single and a double—and two expansive storage areas that once served as stables.

The generous corner block, spanning 1,081m²*, features established gardens, creating a serene outdoor environment. Practical additions include a double carport, a 5 x 3.7m* shed with a new concrete floor, and 15,000L* of rainwater storage. Access to the backyard is conveniently provided from Hughes Street, while garage access is available from the front of the property. 

Completing the amenities is an electric hot water system, ensuring modern convenience within this historically significant property.
