Original Baltic Pine floorboards, high ceilings and decorative cornices, deep skirtings, panelled walls and doors, and lovely sash windows feature strongly throughout. Three generous bedrooms share a place at the front of the home. The master has floor to ceiling robes, a box window with an inviting window seat, plus a beautiful, cast iron fireplace surrounded by a rich timber mantle and decorative tiles. The second bedroom has built-in floor to ceiling robes, whilst the third bedroom has a free-standing robe and an open fireplace. A spacious bathroom is shared by the home's occupants.

The hub of the home is a sizeable kitchen that offers a central dining space, timber benchtops, stainless steel appliances including a Blanco dishwasher, attractive cabinetry and excellent storage. This overlooks an expansive, light-filled living zone. Sunken for effect, it has a recessed roof panel with an intricate design that makes a prominent feature in the space.
