The garden is beautifully landscaped with native and exotic plants. There is an enclosed veggie garden. There are views of the mountain and partial sea views.

There is Brivis gas central heating system and a wood burner so very warm in winter and cool in summer - perfect! There are 2 other period fireplaces which are not used. The property is on mains supply (good water pressure) with town sewerage. There is a rainwater tank that is used to water the garden. The house uses the Rinnai Gas system for instant hot water.
