About our House: Our brick home is 3 years old in a quiet location. It is light, bright and easy care. 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom plus en suite to main bedroom. The lounge can be separated from the family/kitchen room by a sliding door. There is a separate laundry.
An undercover deck with table/chairs and bbq, leads to a 2 car garage which apart from our vehicles, houses 2 bikes. The garden is small but if you visit at the right time of year, you'll be able to pick your own lettuce, herbs, and whatever other veg/salad items are growing.
