On approach you will glimpse this sweet cottage through the front garden. The freshly painted front verandah and the red entrance doors give a cheery welcome and make you feel instantly at home. Step back in time to a simpler life as you enter the lounge room with the historic wainscot walls, the hand cut floorboards and the Jotul slow combustion fire. At the western end of this room are lovely built in cupboards and shelves.

To the left of the lounge is the third bedroom, currently used as a study. It has a built in cupboard and could be a nursery or single bedroom. To the west of the lounge room is the separate family room, with French doors out to the side patio, a quiet retreat from the hub of the home. Further along is the master bedroom that has built in robes and double aspect windows with views out to the shady, restful gardens.

Through the centre of the home is the stunning newly renovated family bathroom with exquisite windows and a very interesting roof line. The choice of tiles, fixtures and fittings are on trend with white, marble look and chrome choices. Further along is the dining room with picture windows framing the gorgeous gardens. To the left is the kitchen that has been tastefully renovated with feature brick work over the Smeg oven range and white cabinetry. Through the kitchen you will find a good sized laundry and toilet. A door leading out of the laundry to the back alfresco is very handy after a day pottering in the back garden.

To the right of the dining room is the second bedroom, large enough for a queen bed and a wall of built-in-robes.

Out the back you find a secret garden with so much on offer. Many different garden rooms, a spot for a pool. Lovely landscaping with recycled bricks. Two sheds and a potting area. Fruit trees and space for veges to grow. The garden provides such a wonderful space for children to explore and discover the natural world. Delightful visitors to this beautiful garden are two parrots, Cheeky Boy and Major Pane, families of quendas and an abundance of birdlife.

A handy space in the garden is the studio, currently used as an artists space but could easily be a teenage retreat, man-cave or a special place for your own hobbies. The sheds provide a place for people who like to tinker.

Close to schools, shops, services and all that a wonderful community village can offer including the well established Community Garden. The sports club and the heritage trails offer fun and walking and biking opportunities. Come to the hills and experience a wonderful way of life!
