If you have something else in mind that you would like to do here, it would be suitable for a range of other hobby farming pursuits.

The home was built in 1977 and it's been such a wonderful place to live that this is the first time it has been on the market. It has been well maintained and updated over the years. It has a good feeling, you can just tell it's been a happy home.
The external construction is Hardiplank. It's a very comfortable size and has four bedrooms, one of which is currently in use as a study, two others have standard size built-in robes, while the main has a whole wall of built-in robes, they are serviced by an updated crisp white three-piece bathroom with good vanity storage space, a bathtub, and a shower with a hand-held sprayer, let's not forget the essential separate toilet.

Nice high 9 foot ceilings create a lovely sense of space and the majority of the home has beautiful polished timber floors, including the lounge which has a privacy wall from the front door, and a brick fireplace with an inset solid fuel heater under a mantelpiece that extends the length of the wall with built-in shelving below on either side. Further heating and cooling options include reverse cycle split systems and a new evaporative air-conditioner.
The kitchen is fresh and light filled, it's been updated with modern cabinetry incorporating a drawer system and a concealed hutch, the stove is stainless steel. For rustic appeal and for warmth, the original Everhot stove is still in place, and a step-in pantry has the clever addition of small shelving on the back wall creating a very handy spice rack.
From each of the rooms there are lovely views of the well established, landscaped gardens that encompass the home. Kids and adults alike will enjoy the variety of plants and flowers, while taking a stroll upon the paths and passing through arbours, arches and a moongate, or just relaxing with a drink upon the brick paved entertaining area.
