Timber sash windows filter light as it falls across the picture rails and polished timber floors, while high ceilings and classic joinery wrap around you. It feels like stepping into a story, one that has been lovingly preserved yet thoughtfully rewritten for today's living.At the heart of the home sits the kitchen, reimagined with contemporary style that honours the home's character. A generous island bench anchors the space, inviting morning coffees, after-school snacks, and late-night conversations.

From here, life flows effortlessly into the dining area, where garden views create a cosy, connected atmosphere.There are three separate living rooms, ensuring plenty of space for the whole family. The front living room is light filled yet cozy, perfect for curling up with a book beside the fireplace, while the expansive family room provides more space for the family to sprawl.
