Surrounded by established native gardens, the stunning original mud brick homestead features a shady veranda to the front and sides offering a lovely vantage point for any time of the day. A weatherboard extension to the rear including a second storey was added at some stage, offering a further dimension to the original floorplan.

In excellent order throughout, recent improvements both inside and out have ensured this property is well and truly ready for its next owner to move in with absolutely nothing to do! The internal layout is flexible in design, and will just as easily house a family or couple alike. Beginning with three bedrooms – two have built in robes whilst the master suite includes walk in robe and ensuite. The central main bathroom features corner spa plus shower, with a separate toilet and laundry near by. Accessed via a set of pull down stairs, the large attic space consumes the second storey, and can be utilised in many ways including a fourth bedroom or office space. The cosy main living space opens out from the entrance hall and sitting room. Boasting lovely exposed beams, stained glass windows, split system heating and cooling plus a solid fuel heater as the focal point, this will be a sensational room to relax in winter or summer! And completing the internal layout is the extension at the rear, which houses the newly updated country style kitchen with all the mod cons and loads of storage, the second living space and sizeable meals area. Featuring more of the character that flows through the rest of the home, including more exposed beams, a vaulted ceiling and stained glass – all culminating in the magnificent brick open fire place!
