The front of the church looks very much like a house & the churches website (visit link) explains its history as:

"Like Shoalhaven Heads itself, St. Peter's Anglican Church is inextricably linked with the first European settlement in the Shoalhaven.

Streets and place names in Shoalhaven Heads preserve the names of many of those associated with the settlement of Coolangatta which began in the 1820’s. And, the core building of St. Peter’s Anglican Church was first built as a library on the Coolangatta Estate.

In 1946, the Coolangatta Homestead, commenced by Alexander Berry in 1823, was destroyed by fire. The billiard room and library were separate buildings, were saved and the library was moved from its original site to become a hay shed before being ultimately being transported into Shoalhaven Heads to become St. Peter’s Church of England. The term ‘Church of England’ was dropped in the 1970s and was replaced by the word ‘Anglican’."

The website has an extensive historical background of the church.

The view at the rear is more typical of a church.
