A limestone retaining wall with automated gate entry and lovely established gardens blooming with spring time colour make a great first impression.
The 2 bedroom home has a charming exterior with newer cladding and ornate lacework on wide timber verandahs overlooking admirable gardens with the chatter of birds, large ornamental trees and a lawn for the kids to play.
A pronounced feature of older country style homes is the timber and glass patterned door found front and centre.
Upon entry the lounge room reveals high ceilings that can be found throughout most of the interior, this good sized room features a large slow combustion fire built into the central wall allowing heat to emanate during the winter months.
The kitchen/meals is also a good size and by using the additional height offers plenty of options for a new kitchen with plenty of storage, until you're ready though the current kitchen works and enjoys a nice view out to the fruit trees and land beyond.
There are two large bedrooms which continue the high ceilings and feature two windows for natural light to flow within, there is a study on the opposite side of the home, an updated bathroom, separate laundry and w.c.
The home has been fitted with reverse cycle ducted air conditioning and solar hot water.
