This main living area has 2 ceiling fans, built-in shelves & cupboards for additional storage, an open fire place and reverse cycle air conditioning.
The sleek white kitchen will make cooking a pleasure, boasting stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, water filter and island bench for food preparation. Another great idea is the built-in ironing cupboard, a little hidden gem.

There is also a large shed (approx. 11.2mx3.4m) with concrete floor & power for the man of the house. Additional sundry shedding includes a garden shed and chicken house in the chook run. The service area would be a great place to store your trailer, boat or caravan and is screened by double gates & a hedge. The house is plumbed with rainwater, with the added convenience of mains water being available.
Mature gardens simply charm you with stone retaining walls, many flowering shrubs and trees. There is an abundance of roses, agapanthas, pencil pines, camellias, daphnes, deciduous trees, lawns, garden beds, bulbs and flowers. Just wander, absorb and be enchanted by the little surprises that you will find along the way. Just when you think you have reached the end of the garden, wait, there is more!
