A sink and water filtration adorn the hardwood polished bench tops.
If you like walk-in robes, the one off the main bedroom could be a functional room in itself. This bedroom has a ceiling fan
Set on concrete piers with durable white ant capping. There are 5 steps at the front, 4 at the side and 3 at the rear of the home. Off the rear verandah is the unique detached “round house” of rendered block. This would make an ideal office or studio. A loft adds to its functionality.

The bathroom and toilet are separate. Luxuriate in the claw foot cast iron bath while another can use the separate shower. Hot water is heated by a 250 litre electric Vulcan unit.

Three sides of the property are fenced in goat mesh. The boundaries are delightfully vegetated, especially one lined with fragrant grevillia, giving a sense of privacy in the spacious yard filled with bird life. If you had to contain pets or children the front of the property could be tastefully fenced. The rear gardens are enchanting with a fernery, chook yard, garden shed, veggie and herb garden.
