Northern views over the back veranda, pizza oven and solar heated salt pool create wonderful indoor-outdoor ambiance in the living room. This family-sized space boasts a large gas log fire and a bank of north-facing glazing that accesses the alfresco entertaining zone.

Bathrooms are in keeping with the period with bright leadlight glazing, a claw-foot bath and timber vanity in the en suite, and tessellated tiles in the family bathroom.
