The interior offers two large bedrooms, with a sleepout that's been divided into two additional rooms, providing flexible space that could serve as extra bedrooms, a study, or even a sunroom. The large living room flows into the kitchen, which is equipped with an electric stove but still retains its original wood stove, adding to the home's nostalgic appeal. There is a walk in pantry adjacent to the kitchen.
The bathroom is well-equipped with a corner bath and a separate shower recess, with a separate toilet adjacent for added convenience. Comfort is ensured year-round with ducted evaporative air conditioning, gas heating, and ceiling fans throughout.

The established lawns and gardens, including a raised veggie patch, enhance the outdoor space, creating a peaceful and productive garden environment. There are also various sundry sheds, an outdoor toilet, and a single carport at the front of the house, with rear lane access to a larger double carport and an old garage, offering plenty of storage and parking space.
