The original 1920s house was sensitively extended in the 60s to accommodate the needs of the growing family. Mid-century craftsmanship is evident in the fine joinery throughout the house, the work of Scandinavian carpenters from the Snowy-Hydro project.

The ground floor comprises a large lounge and dining rooms, sunny kitchen, guest bedroom and bathroom. Walking through the entrance hall, a smaller sitting room leads to the north-facing terrace overlooking the lawns and overgrow tennis court.

Upstairs there are 5 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a large games room. All bedrooms feature Nordic style wardrobes, drawers, dressing tables, and desks.

The double garage has a small workshop attached and a service WC.

The once highly productive garden contains many old variety roses and fruit trees.

Outstanding potential for refurbishment or redevelopment.
