(Fachwerk) Style with an eclectic mix of building materials including stone, bricks, timber lintels and beams with rendered interior wall panels and a delightful mix of older style glass and leadlight in the doors and fan lights.
The entire timber framework is fixed using dowel joints made by precision craftsmen. The house roof has been recently updated with Colourbond without compromising the farmhouse character and charm. Wide verandahs feature on all sides with a feature deck providing a viewing platform for the floodlit tennis court or simply a lovely spot to sit, read the papers and enjoy a leisurely weekend breakfast.
