A quiet existence beckons here amid walls that provide country comfort and relaxed living spaces. It is a place to entertain those you love or simply retreat and restore. Recently renovated, the kitchen is the heart of this home. Granite benchtops frame a sparkling Falcon oven coupled with country-styled cabinetry to complete an attractive picture. With 5 bedrooms and 5 living areas, there is room for everyone.

In terms of living zones, you are spoiled for choice. A favourite might be the sunny lounge nook with its wood fire and peaceful garden view. Another is the entertainment room with large picture windows - perfect for a special event providing a sense of indoor/outdoor living via glass sliders. If formal dining is essential, a roaring open fire will help set the stage for dinner parties that migrate into the billiard/family room.

Summer pool parties and a casual game of tennis are part of your weekend fun to come. Wide verandahs offer the perfect retreat for adults whilst curious children explore the natural haven the grounds provide. Garden aficionados will relish the existing framework that only a mature garden can give. Views across the rolling hills add another dimension to this already picturesque location.
