This impressive bedroom is over 53 feet in length and would be ideal as a teenagers' suite or games room. It also offers potential for dividing to create additional bedrooms if required.
Outside, the house is approached via an electronically gated entrance over a private gravel driveway leading to the front of the house and on to the detached garage/car port which provides two open bays and an enclosed workshop with electric supply. Behind the garage there is space for a vegetable patch (currently used for chickens) or a tennis court. There is also a potting shed and covered parking for garden machinery.
The wonderful gardens and grounds surround the house and are laid to lawn with a multitude of mature trees and shrubs providing a high degree of privacy. To the rear of the house, attractive semi-circular steps from the kitchen/breakfast room lead down to a paved terrace, ideal for al fresco dining. There is also an ornamental walled garden and a further terraced area surrounding the heated swimming pool. The gardens lead on to a post and rail fenced paddock and a natural pond. In all the property extends to about 3.8 acres (to be verified).
