There are two bathrooms, including an ensuite, three toilets across the property and a substantial outdoor entertaining area with extensive decking surrounding the swimming pool.
Separate from the main residence, the detached granny flat provides its own entrance, one bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and lounge. This versatile accommodation is ideal for extended family, guests, staff or an independent living arrangement.
