This space immediately sets the tone with its slate floors, wood paneling around the walls and the original match board ceiling. The adjacent lounge room offers much the same feel beautiful polished floor boards, more wood paneling, inbuilt cupboard / shelving, match board ceiling and slow combustion heater.

Outside we have a large side veranda, which makes for an excellent entertaining area with its exterior fireplace. It could also be used as a car port. A rear veranda runs along the entirety of the back of the house and a double garage with power is found to the rear of the property as well as several small sheds. The front garden is well landscaped and offers the property genuine street appeal.
