Our New Home

After a few more weeks this will be our new home - outside view looking at south facing verandah, entrance, then back towards the gate entry - and of course we have to wait for the obligatory land searches and legalities to proceed, which makes it end of September or beginning October for occupancy:


The garage/workshop/print studio of 135 sq m, which runs on the western side of the house and there is space in between garage and house to make a nice seating area, driveway appears to be lightly sealed:



This is what you can see when you look out from the verandah, and is one of the small garden areas around the property - the stones behind the table are actually the top of the well, which we will need for watering our vegies:



The vegie garden which is bare at the moment, but we'll soon fix that once we're in:


Inside the kitchen taken from dining, which looks reasonable but all the appliances are now gone and we will redo this area.


Dining area with wood burning fire insert which has access onto the eastern verandah:


And again, dining looking out onto eastern verandah - the colours in this picture are better than the previous ones:


It's a Mediterranean style home made from stone (concrete) in the 60's with verandah to east and south, and garage to west, on 3,500 sq meters of land, which is in three titles (handy if we want to subdivide in future). Huge vegie garden, but we'll only need a fraction of this space. We'll grass the northern garden which was rotary hoed to make it easier to manage while the property was for sale. The garden behind the well contains shrubs and trees - we'll need to do quite a bit of tidying up and pruning and removing dead and old branches etc.

More details and photos of progress once it's officially ours and we move in and start our refreshements. Photos above from agents websites, and were taken about a year to 15 months ago.
