Improvements made in 2018 include a new roof, gutters and downpipes, insulation, and an exterior repaint, the kitchen was updated in 2016. This is a property where a little input will add a lot of value while finessing your own rural piece of paradise, a few finishing touches throughout would be welcome. Ornate features celebrate the beauty of this home’s era with its verandah, bay window, high ceilings sash windows and patterned ceilings while modern additions contribute comfort and convenience.

A gravel driveway leads to a free-standing double lock-up garage and steps entering the rear of the home. At the front, steps lead up to keyless front door entry off the covered verandah. Off the entry foyer, a large room with romantic bay window serves as the master bedroom with shower ensuite. Opposite this, a second large room with ornate fireplace and mantle-piece is used as another lovely bedroom. Both sunlit sizeable rooms have plenty of space available to add either built-in or walk-in wardrobes. Also off the hallway, a bedroom with built-in wardrobe shares the family bathroom.

Hallway’s end opens into the light-filled living area with heat pump, wood fire and bi-fold doors spilling onto a western timber deck.
