Whether you’re accommodating teens, in-laws, or guests, this separately accessed zone guarantees utmost privacy.

The front room offers versatility as a sitting room, an extra bedroom, or a home office, while the lounge, anchored by a classic wood fireplace, serves as a heartwarming centerpiece. Each with plantation shutters.

The open-plan dining room flows into a modern kitchen with the sleek benchtops, a stainless-steel oven with a six-burner gas cooktop. Drawers galore, Bosch dishwasher, and a sociable breakfast bar. The large ‘spectre parlour’ woodheater offers ambiance and warmth. This cosy space has a skylight and large glass French doors.

The main bedroom features a walk-through robe to a super sized ensuite bathroom (also accessible by hallway), appointed with a standalone bath and shower.

Transition from the rear sunroom/playroom to a sail-covered alfresco entertaining deck surrounded by Birch trees, and opening further to expansive enchanting gardens, ripe for imaginative additions – perhaps a granny cottage? (STCA). The enormous four-car garage holds an array of possibilities, be it for storage or transformation into yet another dwelling (STCA) or a studio offering the opportunity to be set up as a gym, hobby room or meditative/yoga retreat.
