A shaded verandah gives access to the huge living/dining room which has a tiled floor, half panelled walls and a brick open fireplace. There is a large outdoor terrace with the most incredible views of the surrounding area and the river beach below. A gated area has the potential for a pool to be installed and steps lead down to a terraced plot of land below, which in turn gives access to the river beach.From the living room a small hallway leads to the kitchen, two double bedrooms and a shower room. The bedrooms are a reasonable size, the kitchen and shower room are perfectly functional but would benefit from some upgrading.The seller also has a lovely little gallery showing some interesting items he has collected.On the other side of the lounge a curtained archway leads into a spacious entertainment room with the original stone floor and beams and a fabulous feature bar.
