A door to the garden leads from the hallway which brings you out into the courtyard, enclosed and paved, home to the original coal shed. Wired with electric up lights, the rear garden is laid in both lawn and paved terraces, a purpose-built gas BBQ area further enhances the various alfresco dining locations. This sizeable mature garden extends to approx. 0.3 acres, giving a feeling of tranquillity and countryside with its selection of herbs, shrubs, and flower beds along with some very fine specimens of trees to include Eucalyptus, Pear and Apple. The original stone wall surrounds the garden, and a beautiful red brick wall runs adjacent to the house and the boundary wall separating the back from the front garden.
