All down the side of the property is an enclosed space perfect for children and pets; complete with toys, trampoline and play equipment. The large double garage (drive through) has a fold up table tennis table and there is additional parking available in the driveway for more cars or a boat.
Kitchen
The fully appointed kitchen is equipped with cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery, microwave, Aldi Pod coffee machine, toaster, kettle, etc. plus a double sink, two large fridges (both with freezers), dishwasher, 900mm electric oven and 5 burner gas cook top.
