Although no longer part of the Open Gardens Scheme, and the gardens have been turned around so as to be virtually, maintenance free, this particular home is one most avant gardens will have probably come to see. Known as "Kookaburra Cottage", it is situated in one of the areas Best street and widely known for the quality homes which surround this particular home. Being a 'court' the street is extremely safe with very little through traffic as only the half a dozen people who live here, use it.
Decorated in a 'Cottage' style, the decor and furnishings are very elegant indeed. Offering a formal entrance, one which can be closed off to the home, the feeling of something quite special, seems immediately obvious, after opening the front door. The formal lounge, complete with 'fire place and mantle' comprising a gas space heater) decorative cornice and plush carpet, really make a statement.
The formal dining area, adjacent the lounge, is similarly plush and features large window which look out onto the rear garden.
The central kitchen, the breakfast bar overlooking the family room also features large windows which look out onto the garden and provide access to the covered, pergola area adjoining. Just perfect for summer barbeque and out door entertaining.
The 3 bedrooms are all well appointed with walk-in robes in two of them and an ensuite in the main.
The rear gardens are still a treat, although far less work is required now with there up keep as opposed to the days of the garden scheme.
Raised flower beds, paving, lots of screening plants and ornaments really do show how a very elegant and function garden can be established and very little water, or up keep is required. Just potter around on the days that suit you and leave the rest of the days open so as to enjoy the privacy and abundant bird life. It's not called Kookaburra cottage for nothing.
In all, this home is something quite special in a very nice street and should be put at the top of you list.
