The original farm house dates back to the 1920's and was renovated in 1994. The Shannon Stone block exterior farm house boasts 2 very large bedrooms with fireplaces in both. It has an open plan kitchen/dining area featuring pine in both, making this a warm and cosy space. Leading off the dining area is a generous lounge/family room with both a reverse cycle heat pump and Saxon wood heater. A large pine bathroom and laundry complete the interior of the home. For future thought there is potential to create 3 extra bedrooms easily and with a little effort, 2 dormer rooms in the roof space.
The covered verandah encompasses the front of the home and wraps around to the back outside entertaining area. Off the garage and spacious workshop is a veggie garden plus shade house.
