The comfortable 80's ranch-style 3-bedroom house measures 217 sq. metres (2336 sq. feet) and features a wide and accessible front entranceway, leading to a living room, dining room and large kitchen in an open-plan layout. There are triple wardrobes in the master bedroom and double wardrobes in the other two bedrooms.
Open plan living area
The living room features a wetback fireplace, (which uses heat recovery to supply additional heating for hot water).
The kitchen includes a wall oven and ceramic hob, 3 double pantries, a GEC double door refrigerator and Italian tiles in the service area. It also has direct access to the rear patio area.
There are two bathrooms; each with its own shower, toilet, vanities and hot water cylinder. The larger of the two bathrooms connects to the dining area and a separate utility / sewing / laundry room connects the kitchen to the smaller of the two bathrooms.
Other features
A separate recreation / rumpus room is connected to the living room. It has plenty of storage space and is capable of accommodating a ¾-size billiard table, or may be used as either a fourth bedroom or a separate lounge.

A good sized office is conveniently located near the entrance and is large enough to comfortably hold two large desks or one desk and ample storage cupboards / shelves.
A single garage (which could be expanded easily to a double garage) with remote-controlled roller-door, ample attic / loft space (ideal for storage and a hobby room) and an Italian-slate walkway and rear patio, with retractable sun awnings are all noteworthy features.
A large, elevated pool area measuring 12m by 7.5m (39ft x 24.6ft) contains a full-sized 60,000 litre (15,850 US gallon) Pool and Spa / Jacuzzi. The deck is enclosed by a combination of a child-safe railing fence on the access side and surrounded by a custom-built oriental stained fence for added shelter and privacy. Pool equipment and filtering system are all powered from points located on the deck itself, including an out-pump facility which means the pool can be used as an additional water reservoir for sprayers etc, if required. There is also ample room for garden furniture on the rustic oak-stained decking, which includes a large gas burner BBQ.

The outbuildings comprise a large archway / semi-circular, steel-framed shed with corrugated iron covering, on a breize block base, which measures aprox: 20m long by 8.5m wide and 5.3m high (65.6ft x 27.8ft x 17.4ft), with sliding and lockable double doors at the front. An ideal space for motor-home or other large vehicle, boat or general storage, or as a very large workshop. The archway shed currently contains an in-built hobby room in the rear, with ample storage space on it's ceiling.
The left-hand side of the archway shed has a lockable chemical / spray shed, with joint stainless steel water tanks on it's roof (which collectively hold aprox: 2,000 litres / 530 US gallons) and room for a sprayer to be backed directly in front of the spray shed, where it can be refilled easily. There is also a lockable high-fenced, gated area, which is suitable for fuel storage, with both petrol and diesel storage tanks.
Additionally, there is also a large rear shed, which measures aprox: 14.5m long by 7m wide by 3.8m high (47.6ft x 23ft x 12.5ft), adjoining the rear of the archway shed. It has two sets of lockable steel-framed doors on either side, and is large enough to store farm vehicles, mowers, spray units, forklifts and other farm machinery.
On the right hand-side of the archway shed is a fully functional coolstore measuring 6.1m long by 4.8m wide by 2.6m high (20ft x 15.75ft x 8.5ft), with a lockable sliding door and built on an elevated concrete base, allowing easy loading and unloading of produce on pallets or in pallet-sized bins.
Finally, a lean-to measuring 12.2m long by 3.3m wide by 2.1m high (40ft x 10.8ft x 6.9ft) runs behind the coolstore, down the right-hand side of the archway shed and is used to house the coolstore refrigeration units and to provide additional non-secure storage for other materials (e.g. stacks of pallets or empty bins, surplus building materials, firewood etc.)
