Your new home


A charming family affair, the handsome red brick offers plenty of kerb appeal from the quiet streets of Oaklands Hamlet.

Inside, you have a handy guest WC on your right as you enter the entrance hall, smoky grey hardwood flooring underfoot, softly carpeted stairs rising ahead. The 145 square foot front lounge is on the right, with more carpet underfoot and a nice view of your tranquil street.

Cream paintwork combines with a striking deep blue statement wall, before we head into the open plan kitchen and diner.

Thereís another 140 square feet of social space in here, with the kitchen nicely zoned off to one side and decked out with a mix of smoky timber and glossy cream cabinetry, chunky white worktops and integrated appliances.

More of that smoky hardwood runs underfoot into the dining area, where double patio doors let natural light flood in from the garden, and a pale green statement wall breaks up the cream.

Step out from here into your private garden, a generous expanse of patio and lawn, ideal for entertaining al fresco and surrounded by timber fencing.

Head upstairs now for the sleeping arrangements; a pair of doubles with soft carpets and more striking statement walls. The principal comes in at 140 square feet, and adds integrated storage and floor to ceiling mirrored wardrobes.

Finally, your family bathroom, a smart affair with a modern integrated suite, cream tilework with timber accents and a shower over the full-sized tub.
