Gardens and Land

The property is approached via a track with gated access to a well-presented graveled driveway leading to the front and rear of the house. There are beautifully presented gardens which wrap around the house, with raised planting beds and gates for access to each of the fields. One of the large grazing fields slopes down to the Kingwater River which forms the property boundary. A stream runs through the land running into the Kingwater River. Due to the excellent quality of the soil, the current owners have adapted sections of the land for growing vegetables, trees and creating their own private orchard which includes apple trees, damsons, Victoria plum and blueberry bushes to name a few. There is a smaller stone barn, divided in two, one half has been used as a chicken shed and the other gives access to the animal pens. The larger barn adjoins the house and consists of an old style stable and an open fronted barn with attic storage. The land is stock proof and well connected with water tanks in the fields. The owners have grazed the land since they have occupied the property and it would be perfect for buyers searching for a rural home with the view of keeping some smaller livestock.
