The wide verandah runs the length of the home, The filigree arched gateway at the side of the house leads to a relaxing area of European trees, Box hedges and lawn, all maintained with water from the garden well. Stone garden pieces are scattered throughout the grounds. The original stables and loft have been converted into a garage and workshop, plus a double carport.

The large front room, which was the original bank, is now a lovely formal dining and sitting room, with high ceilings and cosy wood heating. French glass and leadlight doors separate the original commercial area from the rest of the house. Three of the five bedrooms have their own ensuite, all stylishly decorated. The spacious country style kitchen is ideal for casual entertaining with great cooking amenities and a modern, European gas cooker. Also at this end of the home is a small informal living room that opens onto a spacious outdoor entertaining area. The laundry is large enough to house the fridge, freezer, dryer and washing machine. The adjacent character cottage with its own verandah, is separate from the main residence and is perfectly private for guest accommodation or as a granny flat. It has an open plan lounge / dining, plus kitchen, combined bathroom / laundry and a spacious bedroom, all comfortably airconditioned. Commercial zoning makes this property highly desirable, the opportunity for usage and development would be limited only by your imagination.
