Tucked away behind high hedges in a secluded and private position with unspoilt rural views, this prominent home has undergone a program of refurbishment in recent years to create a warm and welcoming residence with spacious rooms and contemporary open-plan living at its finest.

Frieston is also popular for its excellent location, giving good proximity to superb transport links and local towns/cities.
