Cockatoo Valley SA 5351

Magnificent four bedroom, two storey, large Tudor style home on small acres.
LAND: 0.8201 ha (2 acres). Small acreage in the desirable location of Cockatoo Valley. Situated in a cul de sac this very gently sloping property has a secluded, private, country feel due to the number of mature bushes and trees growing on the land, yet with plenty of room for the children to play. The mainly native plants provide a variety of flowers in season throughout the year and attract a range of birdlife to the garden. A gravel driveway meanders along the western side of the property past the large shed to the residence. Due to the lay of the land, the property provides rural views over the countryside towards the Mt Lofty Ranges.

Enter the ground floor via the large tiled entry foyer with timber stairway. In keeping with the style, the ceilings are ten foot high throughout, providing the feeling of space. The large ornate cornices also add to the feel of space. From the foyer enter into the large lounge room through the double French doors.

The electric bench top hotplates are located to one end of the kitchen whilst the wall oven is on the wall opposite the dishwasher.
