THE LAND 1012m²
This property offers character inside and out. As you come through the front security gate be prepared to be ‘wowed’ as it opens up to the back garden that the vendors have spent many happy hours establishing, planting/harvesting fruit, veg and flowers to encourage bees. The garden provides year-round produce – healthy and economical, a garden shed and a chook shed waiting to be utilised. The front garden is a mix of planted retainers, natives, established trees, shrubs and lawn. This is a neat, safe property for kids to run around. The back deck adjoining the bedroom wing, comes off the scullery and is a perfect place to have brekky or, to take a break with a cuppa and a book.
