An unusual home with a studio, workshop, gallery space and cottage in Perth's southern suburbs is on the market, offering the opportunity to live, work and play under the same roof.
The 1196sq m site at 14 Seabrook Way in Medina is the home of local artist Rob Clipwell, who creates carved pots and handmade ceramic tiles, the latter of which are shipped to customers around the world.

“There is a business in this building and it is unique globally,” Mr Clipwell told realestate.com.au.
“No one else on earth does what I do. The tiles are handmade by Labrinyth Studio at this facility in Western Australia.
“We also do workshops. So we have another income in terms of workshops, plus we have an art gallery, we have an actual workshop area, and it's huge.”

The property is being sold through an Expressions of Interest campaign, and the building and business, or just the property, may be offered for sale.
While the home is ideal for artists, sales agent Jade Shani of Urban Habitat Real Estate said there is also room for other ventures.
“It can actually be any type of business, but basically it's two residential buildings. [spaces] And with two commercial spaces in between, it will suit a really wide range of business people,” she said.

Although there has been a lot of interest in the property, Mr Shani said it could take some time to sell due to its niche nature.
She said future buyers are likely to be people who appreciate the artistry.
