This is a beautiful spot to sit and watch the sun go down at the end of a busy day. The Master bedroom also has French doors accessing the verandah, fitted with a retractable fly screen allowing for fresh breezes to drift over you whilst you sleep. Additionally, there is an upstairs small sun room/sitting area between the bathroom and the fourth bedroom.

Downstairs comprises of a graceful family/dining room with slow combustion fire, sun lounge, stand-alone kitchen with huge walk in pantry storage and a laundry with a second shower and WC.

The garden is a child's delight, with stone steps, rambly pathways, a frog haven, a huge walk through arbour covered with Bougainvillea, Honeysuckle and Jasmine and numerous nooks and crannies. A small studio provides a bit of private space for art, yoga (or just hiding from your children) and there is also a 50sqm (approx.) shed/garage and an old original timber shed.
