The garden has been wonderfully landscaped to both front and rear with a variety established, attractively shaped herbaceous and shrub borders, all combining to provide variety and colour.  The house has a particularly distinctive main facade which is enhanced by a large covered verandah set between brick pillars creating a lovely seating area and overlooking the foregarden, the ideal space for entertaining.  This in turn leads to a wooden front door with glazed side panels opening to a generous and welcoming Entrance Hall which provides access to all principal rooms and having Karndean flooring throughout.
