Their listing reads: “Defined by clean lines, organic forms, high functionality, bright spacious rooms and open plan living, this unique home really has to be viewed to be appreciated.

“The primary entrance is positioned at the front underneath the lounge which is cantilevered above with an extensive driveway and front garden enclosed by mature shrubs and trees.

"The hallway provides access to three good sized double bedrooms, all with fitted robes, family bathroom and a boiler room."

It continues: “The kitchen is dated but fully functional and has pleasant aspects from a large window.

“An attached double garage completes the accommodation.”
